On the subject of protecting a piece of kit from vibration, I think there are two ways to go: isolation or inertia.
Either you directly attempt to isolate the kit from vibration - this involves absorbent feet of some kind or suspending the device in the manner of a good turntable.
Or you directly spike the kit to a large inert mass which cannot vibrate such as a concrete floor or a very rigid and massive stand. This is my preference.
In both cases I think extra mileage can be had by stiffening, damping, and mass-loading the casework of the device. In Chord kit this is already largely done.
