The pseudo balanced cables break the ground loop while not affecting the audio quality in the way that your Skytronic isolator probably does. While ground loops used to cause hum back in the days when everything was analogue, nowadays they're more likely to cause hissing and clicking sounds in systems where there are digital devices.

I'm not sure why Dave's box didn't work - it might help if you post some detailed photos of the internals so that we can see if you've made any wiring mistakes.
