The board you're referring to is built around the LM4500 chip, which is a later generation MPX chip with low distortion and anti-birdie circuitry.

LM4500 - FM Stereo Demodulator
Written by BuSan

Description
"The LM4500 is an improved stereo demodulator IC offering very low audio distortion. A new demodulator technique minimizes adjacent station interference caused by subcarrier harmonics and prevents lock-up problems from pilot carrier frequency harmonics. The IC features a blend circuit which optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio under weak signal conditions by gradually combining left and right channel information."
I measured .035% distortion driven by a KT-8300 at full modulation. I designed the LM4500 board mostly for my own use, and then to supply friends who wanted it. The site for info is www.FMMPX.com
