It is literally impossible to alter the data content of the bitstream in any way by these mods. Sorry. If that was happening, total cr@p could pour out of the speakers.... like deafening "static" which could shred your speakers in milliseconds. You can't alter the bitstream in any coherent/musical way without using carefully engineered DSP. A simple fact that seems to elude many hi-fi mags and some of their readers... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
