    I have a very strange issue on hand with a 2015 Razer Blade. Any audio device connected to my headphone amplifier has horrible interference when the power is plugged in. Onboard sound and a dragonfly dac both have the same issue, which goes away as soon as the power brick is unplugged. If I connect headphones directly to the audio jack on the laptop or dac, no interference at all. I guess I'm going to have to exchange the laptop, because this problem makes no sense. I don't know if I should take my enormous headphone amp with me (teac ha-501), and try a different blade right at the store, so I don't waste mine or their time...

    I don't use a DAC or AMP, but with headphones only mine sounds clean plugged in or not. Have you tried another DAC/AMP? Just to try to rule them out?
