Strange ground loop...?
03-11-09: DjembeplayI just wanted to add... this distortion, again, completely goes away with my pre-amp turned all the way up.That rules out ground loop hum imo.....Humor me and try another source other than the DAC.I think the problem is the DAC 
Unconnected Drain Wires ?
In general connecting the drain to the wall will give you the best sound on a shielded cord in the vast majority of system.Cpk Cpk, thanks for your response. As I said in an earlier post my understanding of connecting the shield to the source end ...

I just hooked up a new amp and I'm having a strange noise issue. Only in my right channel, I get this high-pitched whine... maybe around 2khz. My left channel is dead silent.The problem seems to be an interaction between my DAC and my amp. If the ...
