feel that it's a relatively small improvement compared to the fully
modified unit.  It tames the top end and makes listening less
fatiguing, and some people seem to feel that it improves things
significantly when you use an external DAC - but I haven't tried that.

Incidentally, I don't know if you have the Foo Fighters' album 'In Your
Honour', but it's a really good recording.

the 'source first' principle.  It's always amazing how much better your
speakers and amp sound when you feed them properly!  I don't know how
handy you are, or what other sources you are using, but you could do
worse than look at some of the gainclone amp designs that are about. 
The ones I built, were used with JBL Control 1 speakers and the SB2's
digital volume control, and it all sounds pretty good for a total cost
of about £350.
