Audio PC


How important is it to make sure an audio PC is built specifically for that purpose. Is cross talk between PC parts common in terms of creating noise that will be audible through monitors or headphones.

What steps would you guys reccomend to figure out if noise is being generated by components rather than a power outlet?

Is it very expensive to hire an electrician to install audio friendly outlets in your home/studio?

I'm currently listening to Qobuz on a Raspberry Pi 4 running PiCorePlayer.  Power supply is the switching wall wart that came with the Canakit RPi 4.  Total cost less than $100.  USB connection to a Schiit Modi 3 DAC, driving a STAX earspeaker system.

It sounds very nice, with no noise that I can detect.  I haven't tried it with a linear power supply, so can't say if that would be better, but it's perfectly fine as it is.
