jhbrandt, that sounds reasonable, but the problem is, this noise persists even when I reduce my setup to the following:

My desktop computer plugged into the power strip via an ac cable, and my firebox audio interface plugged into my desktop via a 6-pin firewire cable. When these two cables are the only cables in my setup, I still get the noise recorded through cubase when selecting either of the two preamp inputs to record.

I will be following Whitlock's troubleshooting procedure. SAC, I will be using this test adapter for a TRS-to-TRS connection. Can I just buy the TA-R1 (for RCA cables) and buy two RCA-to-TRS adapters to stick on the ends?
