Ferenc, your English is excellent and I enjoy our conversation!Thank you for clarifying your point that packetized digital communications do not result in signal or data loss.
I understand that digital noise can influence other parts of the system including analog stages but we do not have a lot of control here. As you said, the manufacturers cannot predict these influences in our system. I take that to mean a specific product "solution" by a manufacturer to mitigate this noise will not work in every audio system as each user's system and environment are different.
[Ferenc]: "One always hears or listen to the whole system, not individual devices in an audio system."
Very true but it is easy enough to change one component for another and listen for any differences. Only one component is changed while the rest of the system remains the same.
And here I must circle back to the insignificant influence of the network streamer COMPARED TO the DAC.
As we know in engineering as in life, it's all about trade-offs and priorities. Unless one has limitless funds $$ one should focus on the "low hanging fruit" or areas that return the "best bang for the buck". For example, I will gladly pay a couple thousand dollars on a good DAC but only a small fraction of that amount on a network streamer.
