RE: 3 ways? I'm pretty sure you're missing a few.

I listed the three ways that directly relate to the filters, upsampling, and room EQ, all of which make a consistent difference in sound quality. The filters and upsampling give many of the benefits of a new DAC. The room EQ changes are huge and obvious to non-audiophiles. (e.g. -8 dB cut on some bass boom notes even out musical scales).

There are lots of other ways to tweak HQplayer, buffer sizes, operating system sizes, FLAC vs. WAV, RAM disk vs. spinning rust, killing system processes, etc... Many of these have effects, but they are much smaller effects than the effects I have deliberately chosen.

I fail to see the benefit of obsessing over small changes when one can make much bigger improvements in a simple way. Not only that, but there is no mystery involved in what is happening and why it affects the sound and how it can be used to "voice" a system.
