I have been experimenting with various types of connections to/from  my
Transporter and stumbled upon a strange thing. By accident I have tried
a power cord without a ground connected and I got more dynamic and
cleaner (not brighter sound) than with a normal grounded cord. The
effect is not subtle and is the same using either AES or optical glass
spdif.

The Transporter is connected via wired ethernet to a pc. I take its
digital output and feed it into Benchmark DAC1. I use HD650 headphones
directly from DAC1 to test .Both devices are on one dedicated circuit
and not connected to anything else.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior? Could it be some ground loop
from ethernet? I don't have any hums or noises but I have been battling
a little too warm of a sound with somewhat less coherent vocals.
