Andrewhollo,
Are you getting the noise when streaming music from your computer to the APExp, but not if using Deezer or Tidal, also streamed to the APExp? If so, then then we could assume that the optical connection from the APExp. to the Phantom is not a problem. It may be something on the computer. If as Funky suggests, it is related to bluetooth, you could check to see if Bluetooth is active on your computer or your iPhone. Just a thought and an easy setting to change.
Some expert users had some tapping noises, when using the phono input, and that seemed to be related to the USB auto discovery setting in the configurator. Someone else may remember which setting helped. Just another, more off-beat thought.
I don't have a Phantom but if you gave us more info about your system it would help others help you with the problem. Mac or Windows? Wired or wireless btw. computer and router? Wired or wireless btw router and APExp? OS version?
I never had any noise using an APExp from my iMac to my D120; the iMac was wireless to the router, but the APExp was connected with ethernet to the router.
