Nice digital system! The CCa tubes are really revealing units. Basically you have upgraded up to the point that you are hearing the true nature of the sonics of your DAC, the AC power that is feeding it, and the files/discs it plays.
EMI and RFI are enemies of the character of a DAC's highs. Every time I have used an EMI/RFI line power filter on a DAC the digital glare calmed down. I highly recommend you try one on your DAC.
Here is what I am talking about,

There are much smaller filters available but the one I link is vastly overrated so it will pass current freely to your DAC.
The problem is that it has to be wired into you power line feed to the DAC. I have always spliced them into an IEC power cord or a normal power strip.
There are plug and go solutions like Furman but the filters in those are not nearly as strong as the Corcom I linked.
Every time I have used these I have never regretted it.
