In Reply to: You're right - it is more complicated (some good, bad, and strange news here)... posted by willkayakforfood on July 10, 2012 at 22:28:35:
Though the amp's cord may be the ultimate culprit here, it seems it's the DAC that got the worst of it. I'll be sending it to Jason at Schiit tomorrow, and he's quite sure he can fix it up for me.
In the meanwhile, I have at least partially solved the problem of having to use the analog output of the computer...
As it turns out, one of my little DAC/headphone amps also offers a pair of RCA analog outputs! (Audioengine D1). So, I plugged that into the computer, and I'm using the analog outputs to go into the TubeMagic A1 amp. Not quite so stunning as the D/A conversion usually coming from the Bifrost, but certainly still a marked improvement over the computer's internal DAC! :)
