I got this as a DAC for my MacBook Pro at work, and I use it with my Massdrop HD 6xx headphones, and they used to sound amazing. However, recently I've noticed that music I play is popping and clicking every 5-10 seconds, regardless of which application I'm using. I've tested using bluetooth headphones on my phone from the same streaming sources and it isn't the streaming that has the pops in them, it's the DAC that is giving me the pops and crackles. I have it set up as just the DAC/amp, so the only plug going into it is the micro-USB cable from the computer. Is this a power issue? Do I need to find a separate power supply for it? And if I do, what are the voltage input values? I really don't want to blow the thing up, and I'm disappointed enough in my new setup as it is. (I had a Bravo Audio Ocean tube amp coming out of the DAC, but the audio in the tube amp was louder in the left channel than the right regardless of input or type of headphones being used)
