I don't quite understand the first part of your note.

There is where the entire purpose of Serious Audio is hidden, from my point of view. “Better Audio” is an active filter that incentives a listener with his/her listening experience producing “better music” (more content-loaded) in a more “consumable way” and the worst music in a less attractive way. The pleasure of consumption of “better music” or better interpretation is in the misic's applicability to the built-in within us (humans) algorithms of our adequate reaction to sonic nuisances. This adequacy of our reaction is a base for the conceptualized musical harmony, orchestration principles, instruments development, composition method, playing techniques and so on. A “Better Playback” complies with all those rules of musical culture and embraces the played materiel that complies.. However, when the “alien form” of “surrogate musicality” is played on “Better Playback” then the playback should not have own references how to present this music and the system should fall apart granting a listener with “not good audio”. Of course a playback has no own awareness but it adherents the awareness of the person who built the installation and therefore it has a lot of tool in it’s disposal to actually intrude into the process of sound reconstruction.
