Not completely unfounded and unproven, but certainly misrepresented

As we all know, DACs are sensitive to even small fluctuations in power supply, EMI etc.

And as we know, logic transitions may create small power supply ripples or generate EMI.

Therefore it is theoretically possible that loading and unloading DLLs, or even the sequence in which DLLs are invoked, may have a possible impact on the sound. It is also possible that having too many loaded DLLs and not enough memory may cause additional paging activity which may affect the playback.

However, it is certainly a stretch to suggest that actively manipulating the status of DLLs in memory will make a big difference in the sound quality. At least any more than the zillions of other types of memory activity or logic transitions occuring in a computer.

Then again, Microsoft Windows is a highly complex and non orthogonal operating system - who knows maybe there is more here than it seems.
