Unplug the bug zapper in the garage. That made my hum stop  
Looking for a front end streamer only.
Find a metrum Ambre for $1200. Plug in an Ethernet cable, plug in aes from metrum to your DAC. And your done. Roon will find the metrum, you’ll get 24/192 out of the metrum AES and it will sound sublime
