Why would you voice an opinion about something, if you've never tried doing it?

You can call it "skepticism" all you want (the abuse this word takes from naysayers, audio and not only, is simply staggering), but it doesn't change the fact that you simply don't know what you're talking about.
While magnitude of improvements brought by an optimized system is something that only you can assess, and decide whether it's worth it for you personally - expressing an opinion without actually doing it is absolutely meaningless.
Build a system, adhering to the guidelines that are freely available (cMP, AudioPhil etc.), and then we could have a meaningful conversation. If it's too much for you to bother with, buy a quality commercially-produced, Linux-based streamer, and compare that with your "working" audio computer.

You may think you are clever or a debate god or whatever in your mind but you certainly don't appear anything other than a jerk from the outside. How would you know anything about what I know other than I've disagreed with you.

I tried plenty of tweaks got long ago and quickly became bored with them when they didn't do anything but make my computer suck.

While I'm sure they are fantastic at taking your 60hz issues from 20dB down to a blisteringly low 25dB down, since I solved those issues long ago in my hardware I saw none of the benefits of tweaks designed by guys like you.

I'd like to try the thing Mercman mentioned if it's easy just to verify if anythings changed over the years but I'm not holding my breath.
