RF Interference - radio signal through my Transparent Cables.

I own a Woo Audio WES headphone amp connected to a DAC using a 1M Transparent Reference MM1 XLR balanced interconnect.  The Amp is dead silent when the interconnects are disconnected - but I'm picking up a radio station through the cables.  I would have expected balanced Transparent Reference cables to not act as an antenna  - any ideas on how to fix this problem. (BTW, I have the DAC and Amp powered through a PS Audio P600 Power Regenerator).  

Thanks,

Adam

Adam,

this should not be happening through your XLR connectors?
Perhaps, the RFI is entering through the DAC?

Try another set of IC, verify the results.

It was the DAC!  I replaced a Wyrd 4 Sound with an EMM Labs DAC2x and I now have dead silence.
