all righty then. I have no clue what it is (assuming it is an actual physical thing and not some sort of software thingie).

It's PC software that shuts down background processes that are not required for audio.
I started with a laptop using JRiver and added Fidelizer. I liked the improvement and decided to change to a small low powered all solid state computer to lower noise even more. It definitely improved the SQ. I changed the computers wall wart power supply to a Mojo Audio Joule v5 power supply and that made more improvements.
The point is that I have found that a cleaner and faster the power supply along with less background processes equals better sound.
Forgot to add: Get rid of the moving parts; go solid state.

This is one of the reasons I asked about these, especially considering the price of the linear that you have. I have to try one of these on my PC since I play music on it a lot still. -
Or, just use a small Linux OS like Daphile, which doesn't have anything extra running in the first place...
I guess if you have to have Windows, something like this is good.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
