Pre amp w/ HT bypass
Use the HT bypass. That's what it's for and it works great.Kal 
Homemade amp switcher
He's right. All you are doing is substituting switches/relays for the physical act.Kal 
Living Stereo SACD's are a comin
They are excellent. However, not all are 3channel because not all the master tapes were made in 3channel. Also, there are MCH releases that have 2channel-only tracks on the MCH portion and so-labelled 2channel-only releases with bonus MCH (3channe... 
Modifying a cd player to use as a DAC
Sure it's doable but how easy depends on the circuit and the components. The first thing needed is a full schematic.BTW, I wouldn't bother.Kal

Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas
New formulas of what? 
Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove?
Cork is pretty useless but professional absorbtion/diffusion panels can be covered (disguised) with almost any open-weave cloth which, otherwise, passes the PAF.IMHO, none of the other tweaks is worth spit (to quote a more public speaker) in this ...
