Many such devices are available. While their primary role is detecting AC voltage, they are sensitive to electrical field proximity and give an audible warning.
Mine is a Gardner Bender unit.
I am very sensitive to the false brightness RFI interference causes. Consequently, I incorporate sensible physical component distancing along with electrical isolation in the main system via dedicated lines, power conditioners and shielded aftermarket power cords.

You realize that those things are designed to detect active 60Hz electrical lines and not RF radiated by things that radiate RF, right?
In your opinion, is this an example of sensible physical component distancing?
Don't answer. The emperor has no clothes.

Only someone who doesn't understand the concept of time would ask such as question based upon my collection of RPi pictures.
I think others will understand the first day's post chronology in its entirety. Or, simply by looking at the pic's time stamp. :)
I think E-Stat uses the wall of his garage which should be fine.
Also, the DAC DOES have a metal case, after all.
My plastic cased Pi is about two feet away from the nearest other audio component.
I'd worry more about my metal cased Macbook Air causing RF problems before the I would the Pi.
For all the hoopla over how 1ft of interconnect cabling improved the sound of his system , you'd think that RFI would be considered an issue. Then again, you'd think he'd know how NOT to measure it.
Btw, The photo of how not to stack equipment and the photo from my prior post was from the OP's own web site. http://home.cablelynx.com/~rhw/audio/
and my sincere apologies in advance as my acrylic stand offers no RF shielding properties and probably lacks vibration control. Oh the horror!
