I had someone put my dac into two chassis and I still get a decent amount of hum. I went through the grounding scheme and made an illustration.
My questions are: All the digital and the analog grounds are star grounded to one point in the Dac Box. I want to separate the digital grounds from the analog grounds. I could float the B- for tube circuit including Fil supply in the Dac box. Since the DAC box is sharing chassis ground with the PS Box I'm not sure how to separate them. I could separate them and float both star grounds of digital and analog above ground at separate points. Also I want to get the filament supply as quiet as possible. In the past I would make pseudo center tap with 2 100 Ohm resistors and tap the middle to B-. Not sure the best way to do it when one is in another box. I should also add that in addition to the dac board in the dac box it has its own separate power supplies - two (one bi-polar) for a total of three supplies being run by two torodial transformers coming off their own power cord. The torodials are shielded with mu-metal from the supplies which in turn are shielded by a grounded shield from the dac board and the analog stage.

Is the hum only with chassis or every time
what uF you are using to filtrate B+ I had hum when I got 47 uF / 450 V as a first cap and 100 uF / 450 as a second when I replace them with 330 uF / 450 V as a first and 220 uF / 450 as a second I got rid of hum |

Hum is consistant. The last caps are 33uF/400V. Before those are 47uF/400V and before those several chokes and before the chokes are EZ81 tubes.
