I have a Teac UD301 USB DAC/Headphone Amp connected to my desktop. It feeds a pair of powered bookshelf speakers and my headphones. For the longest time I have been having issues with random crackling noise which comes mostly after I resume music or video after a pause and goes away if I reboot power off/on the DAC from the power switch (doesn't need full power cycle)
It comes from both speakers and headphones so its the DAC/Amp
I have switched USB port from PC to my Samsung monitor but the issue has continued.
Teac UD301 has its own power supply and is not powered by USB
It comes on randomly and reliably goes away by turning DAC on and off or by cycling inputs back to USB
What is most likely the issue? Is this the issue with DAC/Amp or the disturbance from USB port?
I saw that iFi sells several products to fix these kind of USB issues but they all seem the same to me from the explanation on their website. Which of these products will work the best for me iFi iSilencer3.0 or iFi iPurifier3?
Thanks
