There is an existing technology that will in the opinion of many listeners "...Improve the quality of song recordings used for conventional CD..." in ways that can yield reliable results in a blind test. It is called remastering. This low-tech approach will work particularly well if the original release was badly mastered, hypercompressed for example, particularly the original grand master can be found and remastered with a good dollop of sanity.
