Just wondering if anyone thinks it's a good or bad idea to wrap their DAC in an Oyaide Sendust EMI absorbent sheet:

I'd pass on it unless you have audible interference from something like a router that can't be relocated. Usually it's picked up from a connector on the computer, but sometimes a wireless phone placed next to it.
If you can pause a song and don't hear anything at max volume, or hear anything when your phone or computer are near it, wouldn't bother.

Thanks. I do have a monstrous gaming laptop & monitor placed right next to the DAC (and they can't be relocated). I'll check if I can hear anything at max volume, but I doubt it. The DAC itself is quite high-end (Weiss DAC501), and may have sufficient shielding built-in.

EDIT: Paused the music and maxed the volume. No sound at all.
