is where you should have started before doing the DAC. Power is the first place to start because the old Electronics saying is "crap in, crap out" actually the word was a little stronger than that. LOL! :)
Use good AC receptacles like Hubble or P&S. Then use the best AC plugs, with AC cables, and IEC plugs. If you haven't done that yet that is a good place to start before the AC tweak.
I then got a PS Audio Ultimate outlet which was another level up in sound and made the system more quiet and less harsh.
I did the Auricap tweak many years ago to my DIY preamp and on other gear and it was a big difference in sound. But, like anything else in tweaking It wasn't the best result in all situations.
