At my office we have a static electricity problem. Whenever you walk around for a while you get charged and zap whatever you happen to touch. It also occurs just sitting at my desk, once in a while I can make nice long sparks fly from my fingertips.

The problem is that my USB dac stops working everytime I zap my headphones, dac, or computer. I then have to unplug it and restart foobar etc.

I doubt I can eliminate the static problem at my office. Dry air, upholstered chairs, carpeting etc.

But is there some way I can ground the dac or the computer that would make it immune to the static shocks?

Any solutions to this will be greatly appreciated!

Connecting an humidifier might help there. If not, you can try an optical DAC (spdif connector) isolated from the computer.
