Hum can be a bitch to diagnose, but if you have something in your chain that is isolating the PC (like an external DAC) then you shouldn't have a problem. Sometimes you can fix hum also by making sure you have everything plugged into the same outlet, but usually you get hum when there is a problem, it is not like everybody is going to get it with the same hardware.

I would get that little NHT volume control if you do not already have a preamp, using the gain on your soundcard is not going to sound as good. The external DAC is definately a good idea though, and I am curious, how do you like the tube buffer? I was considering picking one up used but I don't know if it really helps take the edge of digital or not.
