A mother board is a mother board

Forget about audio for a moment. Are all motherboards equally stable? Are they equally tolerant of a sub-par power supply? Do they all overclock the same? Of course not. Just to pick on two fundamental things, consider power and ground. Power regulation has a large effect on performance, and grounding schemes have an effect on noise on the board and noise radiated from the board. I think it's unreasonable to believe that a small amount of CPU activity in the form of background processes will affect digital audio output but fundamental things like power regulation and grounding will not.
