add a Schiit EITR?

I stream to my 2 channel system ...laptop USB to Brooklyn Dac to Rouge preamp with a set of quality interconnects.

Will adding a EITR in the chain do anything for me to improve my sound?

I already own a quality digital cable.

Thank you in advance for your knowledge.

What quality digital cable? Is it BNC-BNC with RCA adapters? If not, then it's not "quality", sorry.  The only way to get a good termination to a coax is using BNC, not RCA.

I make the best $275 coax cable.  If you do use a USB converter, this cable should be on the output.  Your USB cable is at least as important.  Silver is best.  I use a WW cable.

Yeah, right.  In your dreams.

I have customers with DAC's that passed J-test with flying colors and still benefitted from low-jitter sources.

The current state of measurements is abysmal IMO.  The state-of-the-art in reproduction electronics has left the measurements in the dust.  No good correlation now. How many reviews in Stereophile have you read where the listener loves the component and JA measurements are crap? I can remember more than one.
