Let them run paralell here and there, and build yourself a capacitor that looks like a cable. With random values for the left and the right channel. Now that will sound fine!

The problem is, even if it's free snake oil, it's still snake oil. What we really would like to know is who is working for your extraordinary successful research and development department.

The internet is a fantastic place. You can put up hypothesis worth the next nobel-price in physics while not even owning a DMM. Amazing!

Would be interesting, if the noise you get from turning up the volume hadn't its origin most likely in the amp, not in the cdp. While not playing anything, your CDP will in all likelyhood completely mute his outputs, so the noise you heard could probably have been from nearly everywhere...
