The hi-fi world is littered with this sort of stuff, and in my experience most of it is just smoke & mirrors.
Properly designed audio equipment really shouldn't need tweaks like this, but at the end of the day let your ears decide. Get a demo of equipment with & without stuff like this, and if it makes $1000 worth of difference for you, then maybe buy it...
There is a definite law of diminishing returns in audio playback, where tiny differences in sound quality cost increasingly ludicrous sums of cash. Where that point becomes unacceptable is a very personal matter.
My advice would be to not get too hung up on sound quality, it can become a very expensive passion.
Music first !!
