Hey everyone,
Okay I’m having an annoying audio issue with a new amplifier that I bought as an upgrade to my old one which was an Denon PMA520AE. Okay, before I get to the issue I begin with the setup that I’m on.
Desktop:
I’m not sure what’s causing the issue. I first suspected that it could be a ground loop issue, but it could be EMF from the graphics card since the sound card is right next to it. It could also be the design of the amp itself or an issue with the amp.
What I’ve done to fix it:

What I’ve done to fix it:
■Changed the cables
■Disconnected the PC to the amp and only pugged in the turntable (To diagnose if it’s an issue with the amp itself)
■Tried the on-board sound (It’s worse)
■Used an external USB sound card (It’s the same)
