This is not the reason why some people report a difference in some systems. The stream is always processed accurately to the spdif output... The processor is just a computer and oddly it behaves exactly like any other computer... Given a constant input and constant program [both true in this case] it will produce constant output. It can't do this "better" or "worse"...
What can happen is that power supply noise can be modulated by the circuitry onto the ground plane and this can vary with processor load. Some dacs are more sensitive to this noise than others... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
