Using a passive direct box to kill ground loop noise?

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

This was recommended to me by a friend who's into hi-fi as well as pro audio. I'm not using this in a pro app, but I figure I'll ask it here...

I'm getting a ground loop, using cheater plugs "fixes" it but I know that's no permanent solution. Would a passive direct box solve the issue? If so, which ones are good? I see ones by ART, ProCo, and others...is this a "get what you pay for" kind of thing, or is one pretty much like all the rest? Since all the audio's going through this one box, it better not impart anything of its own or take away anything :)
