WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC?
Another vibration isolation tweak for the financially strapped audiophile - a set of three or four Super Ball and Snaple bottle cap assemblies. The Super Balls are the 1" high bouncing colored balls found in bubble gum machines. But not the larger...

I had a Woo headphone amp and naked Sennheiser 600s and an uber modded Oppo 103 two years ago. Sweet!
