A comment to cables and connections: It doesn't matter if we talk USB/SPDIF/Ethernet/Power/RCA cables, or even board traces they all show filter and antenna characteristics and also can cause nasty groundloops. Innappropriate connectors or connections are causing impedance mismatches thus reflections or crosstalk. Poor grounding and decoupling inside the equipment won't get rid of conducted or radiated noise properly. All that gets a big mess.
All this will have a certain impact on the sending resp. receiving end. If you're not able to get rid of it before your the signal reaches your DAC you'll hear it. Bold statment. But it's not much more complex then that.
