Has anyone ever tried this DAC?

I know everyone is big on the Hippo here, but I am trying to find some cheaper alternative solutions to kill all that ground noise in my car. (<100)

From all the searching and searching and reading that I did, the only thing that comes up consistently to rid of ground noise is to get a DAC, to decrease the long path of RCAs to amplifiers.

So has anyone ever tried this one? I am looking to get either this one or the silverstone.

This DAC is simply called Hot Audio DAC

have you tried an audio line ground loop isolator?

I have this model from Radio Shack hooked up between a Pioneer Inno [cradle/dock] and my carPC. there was a high pitched 'whine' that I couldn't get rid of, I hooked this up and it worked perfect.

good luck

ground loop isolators decrease the quality of your sound system. I need a better cleaner signal as opposed to a band-aid fix.

no one has ever tried this?
