Why not simply change to an outboard DAC like the DACMagic? That works very
well in my experience.

BTW It does not *have* to just conducted by the power line. Could be
radiated or EM coupled.

FWIW Personally I avoid using any analogue stages inside a computer as they
generally aren't designed to provide a suitable environment. Instead I
either take out optical SPDIF or USB (as for the DACMagic). Of these
optical is probably best if you have a serious interference problem, but
USB works nicely in the cases I've tried with the DACMagic.

Slainte,

Jim


I tried plugging my Acer Aspire One 751H nettop into a dacmagic via the
usb connection using foobar & asio4all.
The sound was absolutely vile!
It sounded like a gurgling 78rpm played on a distant AM radio.
Am I doing something wrong I ask myself?
