Pimping your router

Thanks for the response. That’s the typical answer I get every time yet with no real answer. If the ones and zeros are making it there in tact, then why can’t a simple filter be added in front of whatever to reduce any noise ? Why not use a balanced circuit and let CMR take care of it ? Why can’t  these 1’s and 0’s be read by something in front of the device and then put back without the noise if there is any actual noise that is detrimental ? Enjoy the music !  That’s what matters..

Why don’t they use ENO type filters in the DAC ? that’s my point.
We know the data is there intact.. why isn’t it cleaned up by the DAC? Do the DAC manufacturers not see it as a problem ?  I’ve used other means besides USB. Coax, toslink..  I found the unison USB on the Yggdrasil to sound the best.
I know laptops are noisy, etc..

Reading some of these posts..  you would think the Ethernet data makes it to its destination only by luck…
Yet we know that the data all makes it intact and bit perfect thanks to various levels of hardware and software self checking and CRC. Yet somehow the 1’s and 0’s are going to sound better via some magic cables or whatnot. Yet critical data using “non-audiophile” methods launching missies, banking, etc… all continue working just fine..  
Makes you wonder why those same  1’s and 0’s all intact and verified will sound better via extraneous methods and mediums.. 
What a fun hobby..

@lalitk @docknow @thynameThank you all for the responses ! I’m not quite convinced! But I appreciate the civil discussion and the chance to learn..
