I tried this on an XP SP3 machine with a non USB DAC (sound card spdif feeding DAC) and it seems to sound a little better with the setting in place. I am not hearing better focus, but I think I hear less glare. I am not going to reverse the tweak and reboot to triple check though.
P.S. Even if it works, I still think you guys are insane.
