[QUOTE="littlematt, post: 878077, member: 25302"] Heh was hoping you'd step in mm, thanks... You know I completely forgot I had onboard audio will try that after work. No, nothing else is plugged into the amp. I tried unplugging EVERYTHING from the PC including network cable + aerial, except for the audio interconnect, hum still there. Kinda weird, its not grounded, its not on, where in bloody hell is the voltage coming from? I went to 5 different stores on sunday looking for a cheater (ground lift) plug, including jaycar, havent found one. Might try corys or ja russel today if I get a chance... Will fiddle more tonight with my multimeter. Problem is the wife likes to watch TV in the evenings... Will also open HTPC case and look for dust buildup. Just thinking on the fly, what kind of PC to amp interconncects do you guys use? Ive got some nice ones, not pudney basic ones, 3.5ml to stereo RCA. Paid about 30 bucks for them.... I suspect the majority of DACing is done on the reciever side these days via spdif/toslink etc.... My amp does not have onboard DAC... Slightly different topic, I posted as well under hardware/audio, I believe the reason to have an offboard dac is to eliminate electrical/digital 'noise' from inside the case.
