RE: Sound Quality Changes caused by Sata cables.

Curious if you attempted to keep emissions down by building this PC out of all class B parts, whether EN55022-1 or FCC part 15? Are you running your DAC with the PC's cover installed? Obviously you wouldn't have had your self assembled PC tested for compliance since it would be to expensive but sum of class B parts integrations probably should get you close if you at least run with the cover installed. I've noticed that it is easy to find low cost gear only meeting class A levels which you probably wouldn't want to use if noise is a concern.

I find it interesting to note that many solutions providers seem to get away with various class B compliance without shielded sata cables. One might argue that if a specific DAC can't perform to spec in the presence of class B gear then it hasn't been done well. Though maybe class B isn't enough for the ultra highend?
