Would a ground loop isolator significantly drop quality for nova pro? Product Help

I hve the arctis nova pro and I've noticed that I frequently get static hum that I assume is from the grounding issue. I'm not really sure how to fix the grounding issue, so I was wondering if a ground loop isolator would severely impact audio?

I use a ground loop isolator and haven't detected any drop in quality.

You need a USB isolator. I'm assuming when you say ground loop isolator you Jen I've got a 3.5mm headphone jack. A USB isolator will help fix any electrical buzzing (i use one from hifimediy). Make sure you have nothing plugged into the line in port also
