I noticed at the UpscaleAudio site the list some of the Ah upgrades and they mentioned that the I/U opamps are in sockets that will make them as easy to change as the tubes. The opamps in the player are BB opa604's which can definately be improved upon here is a link to the LCAudio page at DIYCable.com for the AD 825 modules you should contact them to see if they have a replacement option. I replaced four opamps in my Sony DVP 9000es and it made a big difference
