I hope not. This should be a hobby, not a war zone... Even if you're wrong, you are free to do whatever you want. I'm not certain the jumper would make that much difference, but it's a 2 minute task, vs. half a day of "bit**ing and mo**ing about this jumper over so many posts".

Read my earlier post. It's not a joke. That is just the reality of the digital chip business.
You have to understand that there is theory and then there is reality. I've seen enough things that look great on paper or simulations but the final result comes out wrong, because of some minor detail you haven't considered or because of an erronous assumption. That's just the reality.
Check out the spec for the CS8414 receiver chip. It has tons of words about obvious things and not much about proprietary features. Is it important?
I don't think so. I drive a car and I don't have to know that pushing the gas pedal only tells the computer that I want to accelerate, and the computer computes some algorithm as to how much more injector opening to apply. It's irrelevant. I push the gas pedal and the car just goes faster.
You change that jumper and listen. Perhaps you hear some improvement, maybe nothing at all. Then you can come back here and say "sorry guys, but no cigar" and we'll all laugh it off...
Or you can say "I refuse to open the case" and we'll all shut up. Some will feel sorry for you, some will say you're wrong and some won't even give a hoot that one person in Pasadena refuses to try a two minute experiment.
Whichever way you go, that's fine with
me. If you do it and decide that it sucks, that's OK too. All I know is that I would have tried it, but that's me.
In fact I did. I wrote about the Zhaolu 2.0 after listening to it in its near-stock form and it really sucked big time. Then someone said "try these opamps" which I happened to have. So a few minutes later I plugged these in and I'm better off now, knowing that these opamps do make a difference. That's how I learn and that's exactly what makes the web such a great resource. Granted there could be some negative experiences along the way, but then you should just shrug them off and move on. Life is too short to deal with such crap...
Again, I hope that all posts are with good intentions and that you'll find your truth in the end. It's your ears that count and you're entitled to enjoy your music the way
you like it, whether anybody out there approves of it or not. I know I do...
