Understanding "Noise" in a PC Audio Environment


Could this be useful for improving the sound of PC based audio?

Even better is there a way to build one at home using off the shelf parts for about 5 cents?

Thank you - will spend some time with the info.

I continue to experiment with PC based audio where in general I have pretty good results using USB out to an Audio Research DAC.

I am always curious, however, when some continue to resist PC based solutions, citing reasons which include "noise".

Yet there is less discussion regarding tweaks and solutions we otherwise can see on Audiogon for just about everything.

So to further unravel the mystery of high end PC based audio, I was just wondering if a simple common mode choke might solve a big part of the "noise" problem.
