I had gpu whine in the single ended headphone jack of a dac/amp which wasn't the problem. It was something down the line that was the issue.

get the ground loop isolator or go all xlr and you're golden either way

I had a USB isolator and it didn't stop the interference. But yes it depends on how it's connected.

I have seen a few times on tutorial videos a mouse cursor that is highlighted. I was wondering if anyone knows of a simple program that allows for this. One of the games I play is horrible at losing the mouse cursor during the game (eve online) and it would be great to make the cursor more visible. Thanks

This is a ground loop issue. I spent a LOT of time trying to figure this one out and a lot of different method's. Turned out to be one of my single ended (RCA) tube amp's with a bad ground feeding back into the rest of the system. While a different power supply helped for a while it is far from ideal especially when you consider that a ground loop isolator is cheap. Which will depend on what piece of hardware is the culprit and how it's connected. If you have an RCA connection before your speakers I would use one of these and call it a day. That's the exact one I've been using for a number of months. I have recently developed a slight crackle on my single ended side of the chain (RCA) but I'm sure it's just a loose wire, haven't had the time to dink with it, I'm about 90% sure it's not the isolator. If you are connected through a different type let me know.

I can agree with everything said so far, at least the parts that I have personally experienced. DT-770-80 is a solid headphone and almost indestructible, plus Beyerdynamics replacement parts are great NTH-100 is amazing and sounds great without a dac/amp and Rode will 100% stand behind their product, a pleasure to deal with them (has an optional M variant with a mic and TRRS cable) IEM's are great but might pick up system noise but with how cheap they are you could get a baby dac/amp that'll be cleaner I would look at some other Beyerdynamic's like the Tygr and MMX300 AKG K361 is a great headphone but the stock pads are a little slim, easy enough to get thick plush oval pads for. The build quality isn't the highest, a little creeky but durable. Sennheiser offers a ton of excellent headphones, however I'm a snob with mine and if it's not a clean dac and powerful amp I don't want to listen to them, or tubes lol. I would out of best practices attempt to avoid the TRRS (4-pole 3.5mm) wire if at all possible, I don't hear about people having an issue with it but I always have a problem of output bleeding over to input. Look at the antlion modmic products, can't remember if that's only in north america this can be found. Perhaps consider a desk mounted boom arm mic or a blue yeti etc, it'll cost you more in the long run but will avoid what you're dealing with now of throwing it all out when something goes bad.

When he say's the DT770 OWNS the nth-100.......... he is being very black and white. This is NOT true by any reasonable person in the hobby. I have the nth-100 and the dt-880-600 and the dt-1990-250 and purchased the dt-770-80 for a friend and gave them a ride while I had them. The DT-770-80 is indeed an excellent pair of headphones, but to say it owns the Rode? It just doesn't, actually for many reasons I enjoy the nth-100 far more than even my 880, and while it isn't as technically good as the 1990 I kind of like the nth-100 a little better for the liveliness it has. Another thing to consider, the nth-100 will sound 95% as good on a cheap dac/amp or onboard as it will a $1k dac/amp pairing. I haven't test driven the beyer since upgrading my equipment and I haven't A/B tested the two side by side, but I honestly believe that the Rode is the better headphone. Alllll thing's considered, someone claiming that one headphone OWNS another just doesn't have the right outlook in general. Headphones are subjective in just about every way. And unless it's something like the AKG 240-studio, Hifiman Deva, hifiman R7dx, soundmagic sp200 which are the only headphones that I categorize as pure garbage, there is rarely any owning going on. Hell even the Koss Kph30ci is a rockstar and it's $30.

I was going to say exactly what @saintlouisbagels said, you're trying to take an unamplified signal and hook it to a passive speaker, at least that's my understanding of this thread. That isn't going to work. Also I don't know of any TV's that offer a powered signal for speakers, though I'm not on the up and up of televisions, just never seen it and don't know why they would start.

Not sure if I have shown this yet, if I did it probably wasn't fully setup.

I just got the KS0 pro and it came as the commemorative edition. I just thought I would start a thread and share my experience. I initially set it up on a Kaspa pool or two then quickly changed it to a nicehash account. I have found that about once a day it default's to the second pool which is the kaspa pool not nicehash and I have to restart the unit to get it back on nicehash. My current earning's are about $1.50usd in btc a day at a cost of 100w. The thing run's HOT so I purchased a USB fan and once I put it ontop the heatsink is cool to the touch, kind of odd that the chip temps barely dropped but the heatsink IE: body of the unit is night and day. I don't know if I will EVER pay this thing off through it's own work, however considering I used crypto I already had to pay for it, I'll consider it a wash at best. Currently I'm looking at 18 month's for ROI. I'm thinking seriously of putting a new overclock firmware on this thing to get a 50% increase in gh/s for about a 100% increase in power, that will drastically reduce my ROI and the only consideration is safety at this point. I have already purchased the larger power brick and will not run this new firmware until I have a DMZ set up on my network so it is sitting out in it's own space away from my other devices. FYI overclocking requires additional thermal concerns like paste pad's and mosfet heatsinks which I have. I could just run this on kaspa and horde my payout in hopes that it goes up, or take the daily cash out in btc from nicehash. I know that the firmware takes 1% split between the kaspa dev's and the firmware creator, however I'm unaware of how that works with nicehash. For what it's worth asicmarketplace is reputable enough that a couple weeks after placing my order I received my product.

I just got my KS0 pro and found out you can overclock them. Everyone redoes the thermal paste and pads, I'm fine with that and have everything on hand. But everyone uses custom firmware.... What are your thoughts on custom firmware safety?

Where yall getting your Apple Dongle Dac's? Cause the ones I got from Amazon are garbage, they don't even show up on Amazon search anymore.

It says 26 port gigabit on the back
