Good point Spock. I have focused on cleaning and optimizing the power supply to playback gear and to all my digital devices such as Router, modem and switch. As well as good cables to the digital devices and playback equipment. My digital is very pleasant. Far far better than it was before I started. It has been a long learning curve, but worth it.
 
arthur salvatore has written some smart lines over this topic - and the difference between "noise floor" and the much more relevant "sound floor".
