I'll keep it in mind and test it someday. The idea of a DI-box between
analog out from the sound card and input of the mixing console is
strange, but that's were the problem appears. Parasitic noise might
disappear, but transformers of a DI-box likely will have negative effect
to the sound quality. Is there a DI-box without negative effect to the
sound quality?
