I just got my first Streamer and DAC and got it setup last night, but I noticed I had to move the power cables around as they interfered (made noise) with the sound.
I'm using shielded XLR cables from the DAC, and a QED Performance Digital coaxial cable from the Streamer to the DAC.

After some testing and setup, it sounds really good, and I'm really happy with the setup, as it went beyond my expectations, but I can very faintly still hear some noise that I didn't have before, where I was only streaming from my mobile phone via a cheap FiiO KA11 mobile dongle and a cable directly to my AMP.

Now here is my question, would it help anything getting/ making shielded power cables, when I don't have ground in the wall socket?
It's quite common here in Denmark living in old buildings from the 1950 that we don't have earth/ ground in the walls.

That's not allowed, as it can potentially kill people so that's not the way I'll go.
