Hi Tostadas,
I tried what you said but couldn't find any difference in sound. Even if there were any, it was very very minor. Yah, I agree with you that one of the weakness of the 840c is that some parts of the music sound as if it's coming from within the speakers. It's as if the musician/instrument is at exactly where the speakers are. But if you close your eyes when listening to music, it's ok because your eyes will stop looking at the speakers. ;p
Just curious, when you try the rubber-band-floating trick, do you have any dampers/cones/spikes underneath the chassis of the CDP? I suspect some "soft" footers (like Herbie's of sorts) might improve the imaging of the 840c. My own CDP is sitting on 3 Grand Prix Audio Apex footers, so maybe these footers might have lessened the sound-trapped-in-speakers syndrome. I am waiting to try the 840c on Herbie's tenderfoot or something similar.
FWIW, just sharing my personal experience. Cheers!
