add a Schiit EITR?

I stream to my 2 channel system ...laptop USB to Brooklyn Dac to Rouge preamp with a set of quality interconnects.

Will adding a EITR in the chain do anything for me to improve my sound?

I already own a quality digital cable.

Thank you in advance for your knowledge.

I have customers with DAC's that passed J-test with flying colors and still benefitted from low-jitter sources.

The current state of measurements is abysmal IMO.  The state-of-the-art in reproduction electronics has left the measurements in the dust.  No good correlation now. How many reviews in Stereophile have you read where the listener loves the component and JA measurements are crap? I can remember more than one.

I love this board. Not so much a user to user help function as a market. OP asks a reasonable question and the response is that I have something to sell you.

As to the question, the answer is: probably not, and where did you ever get that idea?  shadorne seems correct.

In any case, should you insist on pursuing this, you might first inquire with Mytek. You are, after all, their customer. In any event, Schiit offers a 15 day return period (though with a restocking fee).

@melm I did talk to Mytek at AXPONA and he said his USB is very stable.....and I also talked to a rep from Schiit at show he said go with what the manufacturer suggests.

I found a used EITR and bought it...I will test in my system and resell if not needed. This will by far will be my cheapest venture in this hobby.
