DAC placement


Does it make much of a difference where an outboard DAC is placed?--should it be on a separate shelf?

Im using my cd as a transport connected to an outboaed Benchmark DAC

I think that any sound isolation or coupling is going to be more important on the DAC than the transport because any effects will be stronger in the analog signal. I know that at my local Hi Fi store they had Nordost Sort Kones under the PS Audio DAC but not the matching transport. I'm convinced of the difference that Sort Kones made for my SACD player, but I would attribute it to the D/A portion of the player.
