DCS Puccini internal wire 'upgrade'

As strange as it may sounds, I know a guy who has changed the internal flat  cable of Puccini (it goes from ring dac to back plate, some 14m of it) , with  Neotech PC-OCC solid core silver wire.
His argument is that wire used by DCS is nothing more than industrial PATA cable and that is an IC basically (and quite poor)
Last couple of weeks we have an ongoing discussion about it on our domestic forum.
Aldo I own Puccini myself I have no intention in doing something like that (the original flat cable could be put back if needed),but I am curious about wider thoughts of such doing.
Is that example of thinking outside of box or pure madness?
Any thoughts, experience with similar projects, or better, actual knowledge would be appreciated?
Thank you

@rlrb As other posters said, that is a ’project’ which can be done, but only the person who does it will know if the results are any good, better or worst from original. Like I wrote in my initial post, I know the guy who did it but never compared his Puccini with mine (we leave in different parts of the country). He is quite ’handy’ and had patience and will to do it. Personally, I would look for other ways to ’upgrade’ the sound. Puccini with clock is still a nice player, better than todays Bartok or Lina. Since than I have moved from Dcs
