Equipment Rack Configuration..?

I'd be interested to hear from fellow Audiogoners whether the relative position of components on the equipment rack makes any difference in sound quality. For example, is it best to place digital components as far from the amp as possible to avoid electrical interference or does it really not matter. I use a five-shelf Sound Organization rack with the following component positions from bottom to top:

1. Odyssey Stratos Extreme
2. Audible Illusions Mod 3
3. Marantz ST 6000 Tuner
4. Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000
5. Music Hall MMF 5

Ergonomics dictates my placement recommendations:

Top -- Music Hall MMF 5 (TT needs vertical clearance for access)

Second Shelf -- Marantz ST 6000 Tuner (as close as possible to eye level for tuning ease)

Third Shelf -- Audible Illusions Mod 3 (ease of access to control functions)

Fourth Shelf -- Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 (OK to "drop" disc into front loader drawer)

Bottom Shelf -- Odyssey Stratos Extreme (heaviest & least access required)
