Could you mod the software to remove as much sound processing as possible, as in, try get as close to what the hardware on it's own sounds?
Unfortunately we're not that far into modding yet
I think that, most probably, there needs to be DSP processing in order to produce the sound. And from here on, I am not sure that a pure hardware sound can be obtained this way. This is just my thought, no idea about core functionality of the device.
By virtue of Bluetooth, it's already pretty much as close to the metal as possible. The fact that none of the DSP settings work when you're in Bluetooth says that it's pretty much handing off your music to the converter to be quantised without any processing done prior to it.
For normal audio, that's why you have the 'direct sound' feature.
This is what I was thinking about Bluetooth as well - that audio is just converted to the BT codec of choice and just transmitted.
In this case it seems to apply the base sound of the firmware (which is altered by the mod, if you're gonna use it).
By the way, I personally like that it uses the sound signature over Bluetooth.
You can think of it as actually having wired headphones plugged into the device
Though the receiver device might not reproduce it as well. Well, oopsie - however the sound signature is not too overpowered so it should be fine.
