Alex, you're missing that it's feeding the active speakers via optical; all the real work is happening inside the speakers; next, both are double insulated, nothing gets across via any earthing route; finally, a lot of effort has gone into heavy duty filtering of the completely separate, mains feed to both devices ... the only impact the DVD player has is in the quality of the waveform of the optical link.

 

According to you this (crazy) guy and thousands of others (equally crazy) ones searching for a good transport just don't have any idea...

Ok. 

(not that I have any problem with how you perceive it )

It definitely improved with added mains filtering

I'm not surprised, got a heavy black box behind my audio rack too.

My general philosophy with doing what I do, is to persevere with whatever is currently working, until it becomes very clear that there is an intrinsic limit with its design, that can't be overcome with reasonable tweaking. Then, time to move on ...

I can understand that.
