oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ?

Had dealer install a set of wilson watt/puppy 7's. My system is small comprising of pass labs xa30.5 amp and x1 preamp. My source today is a oppo 105d. I got this since it works for the kids movies etc.. but I listen to 2 channel cd music through it. My dealer advised next upgrade should be my source to a dedicated cd player vs the oppo.
My question is .. lets say budget is $3k-$4K.. would people advise an oppo upgrade (EVS or Modwringht) or a dedicated cd player for the money ? Thanks in advince for any thoughts..

Hi Bhobba. What DAC are you referring to?

I own the Oppo T105 (Oppo 105 upgraded by John Tucker of Exemplar Audio) and it is phenomenal sounding. It bettered my Ayon CD-5, PS Audio PWD II.

Thankful, how do you honestly rate the JT Oppo upgrades to a fully loaded Modwright example?

Well, I have not heard both, so I can't say. I just said that it bettered my Ayon CD-5 and PS Audio PWD MKII. However, I would not hesitate to say the Exemplar is probably as good as the Modwright. Have you heard both? If so, please provide some feedback. A lot of this is personal preference....

Thankful, That's fair enough. I previously owned a modded Ayon CD-5s & own an Oppo 103, but haven't heard any modded Oppo players. Will check them out, cheers!
