I'll take a shot at this. Please don't quote me on it. I believe that digital equipment uses ground as a reference. I base this on my expierences correcting power problems in data systems. Neutral and ground must be equal potential or data error can happen. I don't know why you lifted the grounds. I don't believe in this practice. You may need to have your branch circut wiring looked at. Good luck!
Weird Thing after I lift my ground.
I've finished lifting grounds on my system by buying 3 cheater plugs for my A/V pream, CD-Transport, and DAC. During the process of lifting grounds I switched everything off and unplugged everything from outlet. After that I plugged everything in the same place except those three units that I plugged them through cheater plugs. Now I see the weird thing. Whenever I stop CD-Transport or switch it into the standby mode, the "signal lock" LED of my DAC always blinking like it's trying to lock the signal. If anyone has experience this kind of situation or can explain this situation, I'm really appreciate.
