Re: PC Sound Quality affected by Background Programs

So, in addittion to clock stability higher level of noise on the shielding could also make it into your DAC?

I have never seen a RME DAC so I don't know how well they are isolated but you should try the setup with an optical cable instead. You might get a different sound (or even worse sound overall since the RME DACs don't seem to have any dejitter mechanism) but you can check whether this changes with the amount of background activity on the computer.

I am going optical from a DIO24/96 into a Lavry DA10 and don't seem to have that issue but every machine is a bit different which makes this so hard.

Cheers

Thomas
