I get the feeling they are suggesting it is below audibility, but then it is interesting to read the review and how his subjective thoughts correlate to the measurements; minimal improvements when using ethernet and cheaper solutions could provide comparable results but notable improvement when using USB.
Audibility and measurements will always be a bone of contention, whether level of noise/signal, jitter (but then need to differentiate between the types), digital filters (especially when talking about CD sampling rate) and time-frequency domain behaviour,etc.
Just need to shrug and accept even if you provide all the information such as the Hi-fi News review and results some people will interpret it differently or ignore it due to being a hifi magazine or ignore because it is a review (even with measurements that correlate to the reviewer's experience).
