It's a 24HD Touch if I remember his specs right. For reference, it costs 3000 dollars. If it's the "pen only" non-Touch version, it's "only" 2600 dollars.

errr, just wondering, if you have your headphones or speakers connected to you pc, well whats stopping you from strapping a dac to the side of the pc, you know, not on the desk, and the wire pretty much comes close enough from the pc itself.
think creative here, i like having my audio engine D1 next to me for the fine tuning for volume control and tbh, its an attractive unit on the desk for my use personally.
Dat build. I dig it!
So you spent an additional ~ $185 to solve an issue that could have been resolved with a ~ $12 ground loop isolator such as this one
A bit off topic, but I could not resist to say it.
Back on topic though, I'm becoming more and more of a fan of these solid m-itx builds. If I ever did go that route, which wouldn't be for some time, I'd probably end up giving up my own sound card for a DAC solution.

Pretty sure we determined that a ground loop isolator would not necessarily fix the problem, seeing as how the noise was from my computer itself.
I do have half a mind to return the TASCAM to get something a bit cheaper, as I can tell its SNR is not up to snuff compared to the Xonar DX, it gets the job done, but I feel like it could be better.
Obviously I could still try the isolator.
Update to my build that I posted a few pages back. Tonight I got tired of the coil whine from my PSU, and was planning to change it out with a NoiseBlocker that I had extra from earlier. That got thwarted thanks to odd wiring for the PSU fan. So, after everything was torn apart, I decided to add in some cable extensions to clean everything up a bit.
Once that was situated, I re-did the T.I.M n the CPU, ad did a full cable management rework. Heres some pix of the process--- > http://imgur.com/a/tW7pD#0

Zangu... What the heck is that glass table of yours? Looks like 2 desks combined but with a corner piece?
I want it.
