Mine is as transparent as can be. If you don't hear the slightest difference between the recording and the source, then transparency can not be improved upon.It is quite possible that the BPT modified unit was intended to sound "warm" rather than accurate.
Follow Ups:
of replacing all the electrolytic caps with more linear ones, adding polystyrene bypass caps to the digital power supply, shielding the interior and wiring with copper foil and ERS cloth, adding a separate power supply for the analog section, replacing circuit board mounted jacks with chassis mounted WBTs, etc. :)
You seem to be inferring that all the mods would make for an accurate sound rather than a warm sound. Based on your description of the mods, I would tend to agree. However, that means you have to disregard the review claiming a "warm" sound as an erroneous review.Take your pick. All I know is that my Masterlink is extremely accurate.
In my experience, the use of more linear capacitors, separation of power supplies for digital and analog sections (as also found in my GamuT CD-1) and the addition of multiple anti-RFI strategies to an audio component results in a less bright, less edgy, smoother sound. I would consider that more faithful.Live music never sounds "clinical" to me.
