Even if levels weren't matched exactly, it's fair to assume that they were at least close, at these two listeners' comfortable levels.
Have you ever heard slightly mismatched levels responsible for "dull, flat, dim, 'not as vivid'" sound? Not me, that's for sure.
We are talking about CD playback (a severe compromise in itself), on a player that, even with the mods, is pretty far from the SOTA digital playback. The fact that it sounds better than some computer setup (which is even farther from SOTA, as far as computer setups go, I'm sure), doesn't tell me personally much of anything.
