I have no wish to 'endow' (DP) anything. I'm reporting less distortion in

Are you a troll or a clot ?

Digital data can't in any event be 'sweetened'. The zeroes and ones are either
there or they aren't. A CD mechanism can only read the data on the disc - it can't
change it - as you seem to be suggesting. A CD 'sounds' the way it is - period.
Clearly - converter accuracy will affect the final result ( that's analogue
circuitery ) - but the digital part is either there or it isn't.

Maybe you are experiencing 'error correction' on a poor quality / cheap mechanism ?
That *might* disturb the digital data, but has zero to do with type of power supply
or large lumps of metal.
