The Ti Shield material is a sandwich of Alloy 49 (aluminum and something ferrous? not sure but it's magnetic) within outer layers of copper. It's use is NOT actually as a shield in these applications, I'm told (though it can be used as such). It's actually more of an RFI/EMI damper of sorts.Therefore, it does not need and probably isn't best as a total Faraday cage, just a strip or patch or such. In my case I have a 1" band around the R-C, but in yours it would need to be done otherwise, probably as a flat patch on your top cover (inside or even outside). You'd need to insulate it electrically from the conductive metal box, and from the other components. You'd also need to insulate it from vibes mechanically, which is why we use the microsorb.
However, given that you have a total metal box which can be a good shield (if it's not ferrous - if it is, replace that box), I'm not sure if it would add anything useful.
What I'm really wondering is why you bothered with adding the extra 2 connectors via the IEC route. It wasn't necessary. Since these units don't carry musical info to a speaker or component directly, I suppose that doesn't add any significant degradation, but jeez, what an extra lot of complications!
I'd be very interested in how the polypro caps sound compared to what Al and I use, which has only one polypro cap and the rest what appear to be ceramics.
