I'll let you in on a little secret I discovered 3 -4 years ago with my C-Ports 
that made an insane amount of difference to the noise floor. 

This only works on balanced input BTW ! 

If you "pull-down" the balance amp @ the  desk, you get digital chatter from 
the DAC. If you "pull-down" the balance amp @ the source you don't. SImple. 
One way noise.. other way none....fact. So, if you are going thru a mixer 
input which is balanced and your pc card insn't.. this could be your problem. 

You simply have a TRS fitting into your desk with all three pins connected 
normally and at your sound card you have TS with the "cold" and shield 
shorted out.
