Speeding up my Digital (mod advice needed)

I've begun the modification process on a Toshiba SD4960 universal player (CD, DVD-A, SACD, all but vinyl). Here's a link to my mods thread:

As you can see, the mods had a very good effect, but there's one thing missing. The speed of the player is just not up to snuff. Those leading edge transient's are a bit flat - the crispness of the sound and such. Now it is very pleasing and forgiving, but so is my vinyl while still having that speen factor.

So, I'm looking for some suggestions on how I might mod this thing to get some of that speed. I'm sure it's got something to do with the digital circuit itself, perhaps an internal swirtch on the DAC chip, perhaps some cap that's loading the chip, perhaps something else. I do have a board schematic and the detailed paper on the DAC chip.

Anyone have any experience with this that may want to give me some suggestions on where to start (remember, I'm not an engineer so be kind)?

Thanks,
Bob
