[Help] Getting a lot of static/interference

Hi everyone, finally made the first trip into the land of hardware synths and honestly I'm having a blast. Picked up a Minilogue XD. no regrets.

No issues with the minilogue on its own, sounds delicious with just a headset plugged in. However i'm getting a lot of noise when trying to record with it, either sequential clicking or quiet but high pitched screeching, from what seems to be either the power or just ambient interference. It's been suggested i get a hold of a power conditioner but see a lot of them are over the 80-100 price point for a small one.

Does anyone have any ideas on either other solutions for this or a budget method of doing this. My current budget is real low at the moment.

current loop : Power > PC > DAC (NI Komplete Audio 6) < Korg Minilogue XD (Stereo out LR Cables) < Power.

EDIT: Identified the issue as a USB power issue, may have a solution now thanks for all the responses.
