Grounding DAC chip tweak


Hi All,
What is the most effective way to ground dac chips? Is double copper sided board with a small gauge cable saudered on top the most effective way? What is the best way to stick the copper board to the dac chip? double sided tape? bluetak? Any chances of damaging the chips due to static electricity discharge? Any suggestions welcomed.

After upgrading the ground wiring on my dac that feeds the board and IEC, I was able to lower noise floor and remove grunge from the signal. In reading another thread, further improvements can be obtained by adding a copper double sided board on top of the dac chip with a wire attached and taking it to ground. This seems to lower noise even more according to the individuals who tried it. Has anybody
tried this?
