They may be undeniable to you, however... There is an equally plausible explanation, which also explains why not everyone will hear any difference at all... Put simply, it all depends on the design of your DAC and how easily (or not) it can recover the clock from s/pdif and how well isolated the DAC clock (and its PSU) and analogue section of the DAC are from the s/pdif ground plane, the mains earth and radiated RFI. DAC's vary widely in these respects. Thus by all means try such things, but be very wary of generalisations. Life just isn't that simple (sadly). If it works for you, great. Others may not have the same problem to begin with, or it may not be solved for them in the same way it is for you. Peace.
