Posted April 23 I am experiencing a weird issue, where I get a high noise floor only when playing games and only in certain games at that F1 23/Dota 2/HellDivers 2, while in other titles the noise floor is not present, not is it present during audio playback trough tidal or youtube even at low(in track) volumes, the amp is set to high gain due to the high impedance of HE6SE, however, it was never an issue outside of games. Is there any way to address this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, if this was an amplifier you'd likely hear it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 23 I assume that you've tried running stress tests and testing the sound then too, right? 5950X/3080Ti primary rig | 1920X/1070Ti Unraid for dockers | 200TB TrueNAS w/ 1:1 backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 23 Are you gaming at the same volumes you listen to Tidal and YouTube? I would try playing all of these sources (Tidal, YouTube, and video game) at the same volume level on the amplifier knob, but then I would mute the source e.g. go to the in-game settings and mute things, mute the YouTube video player. Ideally you shouldn't be using high gain on an amplifier unless you really need to. Is the 10 o' clock position on the amplifier not strong enough at low gain? | Remember to mark Solutions! | Quote Posts if you want a Reply! | | Tell us everything! Budget? Currency? Country?

Have hear people having similar issues with DAC + AMP set ups, but still could not find a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All levels same the sound is present even if there is no current audio playing trough the game i.e main menu and in-game BGM is turned off.

Don't have equipment on hand to properly measure, but the volume at low-gain is 47% of something like H95s or MDR-x1000m3, which is lower than my comfortable listening volume or low volume ruins emersion like in F1 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
