RE: Damping CD Laser-Reader /Track more rewarding than CD treatments

Thank you for the correct appelation! but (spoiler alert) I am not a real Duke.

You should be able to compare rips made using different tweaks to assess if the data is the same - this is independent of listening to them. If they are different then there is a real effect going on that you can isolate. And by comparing to the Accurate rip database you know which one is correct.
If your variously tweaked rips prove to all have the same data then something is going on when you play them back. I don't know how metadata affects the music bitstream during playback I would think it is benignly stripped off along with all the sub-codes and header stuff but who knows if the files were ripped identically but you modified them it might lead to a difference.
