Isolating Digital Noise, need help.


I'm hearing noise from my ARC CDP thru my speakers presenting as a high frequency "whine" or "soft screeching." I need to isolate my digital from the AC line it shares with my analogue components. Running another dedicated line is not an option at this time.

I was wondering if a power strip with isolated receptacles, such as star-grounding, would be an alternative to a separate AC line.
As a test, I now have the CDP connected to a different outlet in my house and the noise thru my system is eliminated.

Would this type of power strip be an effective solution, and if so, I could use some recommendations. I have several layers of Blue Circle power conditioning, so I would need a strip with surge/EMF/RFI protection.

Possibly the Blue Circle FX2XOE (that has 3 pair of outlets) would filter out the problem. The only reason I'm suggesting this is because I use one to correct a problem I had in my secondary system. It worked out so well, I purchased a second one that is brand new but I have not needed to use it. If other suggestions don't work you could try mine.
