The thing we have to remember is that, with digital processing of ANY kind, we're dealing with discrete values (1's and 0's). So when any kind of "noise" (or, if you will, "garbage") gets into the system, it only becomes a problem when it exceeds a (pretty generous) threshold. IOW, additional noise (unless it's a substantial amount) is NOT going to change the value of the bits being processed - this is one of the big advantages of digital and it's the reason that all of our systems today (financial systems, etc.) have converted to digital. It's more accurate and less prone to problems. Moreover, the transmission of digital data just doesn't get corrupted as easily. So I can be using garbage quality hardware, and the data transmission (to my DAC for instance) is still just fine.
I guess you could say that my garbage tolerance is pretty high - as long as the right bits in the right order get through unscathed!
