RE: Mu-Metal Shielding...

Boy, you're thinking I even have the foggiest notion; I just started studying the idea myself. I'm thinking perhaps building a shield for the soundcard, and one could certainly build a shield for the mobo that goes around the chip/heatsink, which is what I'd do anyway; just leave the chip radiating away, but keeping other EMI away from the board itself. If done delicately enough, perhaps some level of chip EMI could be kept away from the mobo itself.

Just thinking about it--haven't even started to build a cMP yet, but turning ideas over. There's so much flux in this area, and so little actual hard knowledge of what works best because the basic components are so ill-suited to delicate audio, that there's much to ponder.

That's why some folk get away with charging $12K+ for memory players that are built from off-shelf modded computer parts--and mu-metal around the mobo.
