Hoping y’all can help me troubleshoot. There is a fairly noisy background when I listen to music from my chord tt2. If I put my hand on the dac/amp, the noise goes away, which indicates to me maybe some sort of grounding weirdness? It is plugged directly into the wall. What should I try to reduce that noise?

I think you can connect an RCA cable to something that has ground and that might help. Do you have a grounded amp you can try connecting it to?
