Thanks for reporting past experiences.
I def. look forward to your findings with the much buzzed about REGEN.
In these listening tests, I would venture to guess you have not used a file renderer/playback device built form the ground up to receive data via Ethernet then send out to a DAC, like say an Auraliti, a MiND, or a Sonore.
Yes, these will absolutely make a HUGE difference...quiet power supplies, light, non commercial operating systems, galvanic isolation.
Receiving networked audio on a PC is a nonstarter.
Back to you original point, having the processing done as far away from the DAC as possible is key. My NAS does all the decoding and just lets the streamer coast.
Follow Ups:
toward unable-to-be-modified hardware: we'll all be left to purchase ever rarer, more single purpose, computing devices like the Rasberry Pi. This is welcome IMO, as hobbyists & tweakers will be setting up their own transports under the principles that high performance audio manufacturers have employed for years with great success.
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
Just look at the most recent batch of MACs. No more user upgradeable memory or hard drives, reduction in the number of ports, and an ever more closing ecosystem.
