Absolutely science...and very simple science too. No element of craft here. Where the lines get blurred, indeed the ONLY way in which they can get blurred, is the fact that with the exception of wireless connections there is the possibility of electrical noise entering alongside the data. this noise will not in any way change the data but may cause problems in downstream analogue circuits starting at the S/pdif receiver chip. Tne proof of this lies in the effect of these so-called server-side tweaks on systems using wi-fi ethernet...
