Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units

That still brings in an important question.

There is no other modded oppos that come up for sale as there are many companies that mod these players. These people are keeping them.

I refresh the oppo page a couple times a day and have a good grasp on whats been selling and dont see a high amount of stock 105 units that even come up.

In fairness to modwright these may be great units, but in my position this brings to many red flags and I can't pursue one of these things. Human nature is to want what we cant have and not have whats being dumped like hot cakes.

Only if there was a way to try several of the oppo 105 players thats been modded by several different companies but this is what makes buying modded players so difficult.

One thing I learned in audio as I have bought and sold so much here on Audiogon is that we sell something cause we found something better or not happy with its performance.

Freeman you are not a OPPO fan that's for sure. So why the posts? Buy some other brand then? I don't get what your trying to accomplish by being negative about OPPO. What use is the modded Oppo question? Most people that buy these Oppo players don't even mod them. The ones that do mod them can afford to buy any player they want. It dosent surprise me that these same people can afford to upgrade to whatever they want to. SO the real question is Why are you not buying one of these awesome modded players for $2500 used, is a mystery to me. And all you like to do is put down the 105 player cause you don't have one (I guess).

The 105 has been around for a while now, so I would not be surprised if Oppo released a new model this Christmas or early in the new year. I'd say you're just seeing those in the know moving their units on before a new model drops. As for the large amount of Modwright Oppo's, i'd say that is in direct proportion to how many 105's go through Dan's workshop..

Freemand, aside from the Elyse Dac I also have Modwright's LS100 pre and KWA100SE power amp - bought all three w/o demo and have been very pleased with the sound and quality of each unit. To each his own but red flags, think not

Facten, I dont doubt the performance of the modwright but my position is that there are other companies that mod oppo players and for much less. I know in audio more expensive does not equal better performance but would not be surprised if I liked the sound of a modwright player more then other companies modded oppos. Who to have mod my next oppo player is my big mystery in life! They had a tv show on MTV called "Trick my ride" or shall we say "Trick my oppo"! I need to go to audio asylum and chat with the oppo diehards that have modded them.

Hi Mattmiller, glad we meet again on the oppo talk. Are you crazy, I love oppo and love the performance of the 103d going to my NAD M51 dac. Prior to that the oppo 980 was the best player I ever owned and had some nice arcams and such. Where have I ever talked negative about oppo? Now, the modded ones are about the modder and not the oppo player.
