From the project

External audio bypass preamplifier modboard for the Famicom

an open-source hardware external preamp modboard for the NES and FamiCom

A few months ago, I discovered the main source of noisy interference for the audio in the FamiCom, which is the hex inverter chip. The other signals passing through the hex inverter chip is the interference heard in the audio.

Therefore, to reduce the interference as much as possible, the APU pins and preamp circuit must be completely isolated from the hex inverter chip. This is where this modboard comes in.
