SkiTahoe Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 22 hours ago, JoshM said: I have the same Mac as you, but whenever I’ve run into this issue, it’s been the DAC that I’ve needed to move to break the loop. Does a “cheater” plug on the DAC’s cord end the loop? If so, an Ebtech Hum-X should safely solve the problem in place of the cheater. Also, moving one or both of the components to a pure sine wave UPS might solve the issue. @JoshM If I'm using a Sbooster 12V power supply would this still apply? Link to comment

Still, it can be difficult to solve.
