FWIW, I tried @badbeef ‘s DSJ update approach of unplugging the HDMI cable and going directly from Snowmass. The results were better, the Windom harshness was lessened. I also turned off HQPlayer’s PCM upsampling, which seems to work better with Windom in my system, relying entirely on the DSJ’s upsampling. The midrange remains less forward and sweet than Snowmass’, which is a noticeable difference in tone.
