(in very simple terms) SPDIF is an analogue signal that represents the
data (the bitstream) in an encoded format including an embedded clock
signal. like all signals it can be clean or dirty (contain noise and
distortion). The dirtiier that signal is, the harder the spdif receiver
circuit/chip in the DAC has to work to accurately recover the clock (the
music data is not a problem).
