Has anyone else experienced their Renaissance producing interference that's clearly audible through your monitors/headphones once you plug the USB2.0 cable into the computer connection (port) on the back of your MPC?

I've already contacted Akai Pro and created an RMA, however, I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing or has experienced this issue before I'm without machine for a few weeks.

Things I've tried to remedy the issue + observations:

-I tried swapping USB2.0 cables. The problem persisted.
-I noticed when the power to the Ren is OFF, I still here the noise faintly, which then disappears entirely once I disconnect the USB2.0 cable form the port.
-I noticed the sound becomes faint once I pulled my 1/4" cables from the main outs, though again, I hear the noise faintly.

The above makes me think it's a failed component internally in that the sound is being transmitted through the signal chain to the outputs.
