My surmise is the hum has something to do with the computer but if you only hear it with your ears near the drivers of the speaker its absolutely no concern whatsoever.
Slight hum coming from preamp/amp
I got a Nakamichi CA-5/PA-5 that I connected to a laptop via an external DAC. When I set it up and turned on the amps, I can hear a slight hum coming from the speakers. It can only be heard if you press your ear against the speaker. I looked up the issues online and tried to isolate the noise by just connecting the speakers to the power amp, and the hum noise reduced down significantly but I can still hear it if I press my ears next to the speakers. What should I do next?
