    If you want good sound, buy an external usb DAC. It will be away from all electro magnetic interference and will be way better than any consumer stuff.

      Modern built-in DACs are insulated well enough for good sound. You only want to spend money on an external one if you want excellent sound.

          Which should be shielded for any decent sound equipment. Also they come from the front panel, away from major interference sources.

            Lol how do you think they get to that front panel?

            I mean sure go ahead and shield this and that (and still get em interference in the DAC card because it’s hooked up to the friggin PCI express bus on the motherboard) instead of using a simple USB cable.
