Most modern DAC designs have an ASRC or at least fifo buffer at their input that isolates the rest of the DAC from timing variations in the input, so jitter is less of an issue than it was 20 years ago. I assume your "rurmor" is hum and noise, and if that was an issue, we would see lots of reports of optical connections sounding much better than electrical ones. Do we? And yes, the final stage of a DAC is analog, but pretty well isolated (in any modern DAC design) from the input. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
