Anyone think ferrite beads might work to help?

Hi there, I have a pair of Astro A50s. So far they have been great except for one issue: when I plug my Mac Mini into it via the AUX port I get a hissing sound that is persistent. To add to the weirdness when my GPU ramps up, the noise does as well in both volume and intensity. The Mac Mini is wall mounted just under a half meter away from case. I've tried multiple male to male 3.5mm cables, a mixture of "shielded" and non-descript. I've found the "shielded" 0.5M one I just bought so far has generated the least amount of white noise, but it's hard to measure really. When the cable isn't plugged in on both sides there's no noise coming in on the AUX port. At this point any help in eliminating or at least largely reducing the humming would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to network solutions as well. I've looked around I just couldn't find anything that didn't also introduce extreme lag other than running and air play server and streaming a whole desktop screen (audio only has a 2 second delay O.o). If you need any other info please just ask. At this point I'm out of ideas. Edit: I should also mention I tried using the AUX in on my Mobo as well and the same issue.

So am I when it comes to normal travel. Though this would be a permeant, or as permeant as moving for work can be, relocation so it would be only interim until I got a chance to get a new one. As for finding one that would work across voltages I haven't found many, none I'd actually rely on, that do. It seems UPS' are fairly specific to the input voltage; at least in my 30 minutes of searching around so far.

That's what I figured. I'm looking at this one currently: https://www.staples.ca/en/cyberpower-travel-adapters-a-c-g-i-trb1a2/product_2869001_1-CA_1_20001. It seems pretty solid and I've had good experiences with CyberPower before. As I said though, I only consider this idea as an intermediary until I got new UPS' unless this is considered a fine practice then I might stretch it out longer, though I assume it's likely not considered as highly as just having native voltage support.

Hi all, Wasn't quite sure where to ask this question so hopefully, this place is fine. I am currently looking at a job prospect that would have me moving from Canada to the UK and while I know most of my electronics would be able to make the move (game consoles and PCs) I'm curious if I would be able to run a UPS (APC 1500VA) from NA behind a power adaptor. It's likely not recommended sure, but I'm just looking at it as an option to get me going while I go and buy all the new cables I need and buy a proper replacement UPS that is built for the voltage there. I have verified that neither of my 2 UPS' are 200+V compatible so if I could I'd like to have one run my desktop after moving there to get settled.

I currently have a GTX 770 2GB, and to put it simply it's dying trying to keep up nowadays and the RX 480 seems like a great upgrade for what I do now on my 1440p monitor.
