Not all good tweaks have to cost money. Generally the best don’t.
How is that?
Well, the best tweaks which are more ’intellect applied to the given scenario’ rather than ’expensive little bits of whatever’....are sought out by the manufacturers of gear themselves, as they can use such things to add value to their own production of finished product.
It’s one of the key ways of ’winning’ the retail product wars.
If one was to think that manufactures of amplifiers, DACs, source devices, speakers or whatnot don't appreciate effective tweaks, I can tell you the exact opposite is true. They seek them out with a vengeance, and work hard to discover and apply such things as this where cost vs return can really play out.
And the tweak can be anything at all, a part, a chassis design aspect, a circuit mod or change - anything at all.
