Yes, agreed, the problem is mainly at the source end although some blame the DACs for not completely eliminating the shit that comes down the communication cables along with the digital signalThe main issue is that computers & digital communications have no need to pay attention to the issues that have been noticed by audiophiles for years & are being addressed by products such as the Regen, iFi & others. For successful digital comms, the only concern is BER (Bit Error Rate) - noise or signal quality is only of concern if it introduces unacceptable rates of bit errors which will affect the comms.
So when this scenario has to play with & cross over into the analogue domain, all these issues raise their heads. Especially so when dealing with digital audio where the voltage or current levels at the LSBs is so low, delicate & easily disturbed.
I believe that a lot of what has been happening in computer audio over the last 10 years or so is the move towards this realisation & conclusion - that digital audio isn't just about the bits - the quality of the signal & what might be riding on it or alongside it is also of importance.
The Regen is just one of the many advances in this area.
