It sounds hashy (or digititis) & theres more bass / treble, like more a wall of sound, the added treble covers up the good stuff-- I think the only thing that improved it was removing it's toslink: it's wired in parallel with the coax, I suspect it's just distorting the spdif (slightly of course) --
The OP did order the remedy... if it's not very obviously an improvement, I'd definitely return it... The raspi/digi+ is just better, it's pure simplicity and piCorePlayer by default has all linux services turned off -- I'd move to that before adding that "Remedy" I explain it in the description more on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5C5oSs5ELk Also, on my desk/computer setup, can't tell the diff-- but on a big sys filling a room with sound it's pretty obvious & I just keep my system simple/consistent, and I'm with you guys to avoid snake oil and absurd audio jewelry.
