OK stepping back for a minute

If one were to take seriously the idea that cpu load may affect (via
the groundplane or otherwise) the SPDIF out either by producing jitter
in the code or by introducing noise...

then does there exist a hardware mod which would be likely to address
this question directly. would it help to provide a separate regulated
power supply to the cpu or something?
