Since it's my practice...

to neither praise nor damn something I haven't heard (now _there's_ something to be suspicious of), I can't comment or speculate on the specific effects of the mod. My point was simply to indicate that a 999 mod exists and someone had posted a review of same...just in case the original poster wanted to follow that up with the modder or the reviewer.

I'd note, however, (and it should be no revelation to anyone who's kept up with mod posts on this board) that the "closes the gap" response isn't an uncommon initial reaction to a mod that improves both CD and SACD performance...especially when one hasn't heard CD's "ever sound so good". Thus it's not necessarily an artifact of euphonic fattening up or steps taken backward, but rather the perception of a more or less dramatic--and substantive--improvement in the quality of CD playback. At least that's been my experience with the mods I've heard.
