Universal disc players

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your Responses.

@audiosaurusrex, would you mind telling me what you mean by tube modifications and what kind of improvement you expect?

@glennewdick, could. you give me the model numbers of what you are referring to?

@uberwaltz, I just happened to stumble across both the Arcam and the Marantz last night and will be looking further into both of them.

Any thoughts on the Pioneer LX800

Anyone else want to join the party and share their thoughts on the previously mentioned units or a different player that has not been mentioned please do.

Thanks

I’ll dig it up tonight when i’m at home sorry i missed this reply earlier. I believe its the prior gen UBP-X1000ES mine looks identical but has no analogue audio out. https://www.sony.com/electronics/blu-ray-disc-players/ubp-x1000es

 Just stuff it in your computer and you are good to go. ;)

@audiorusty....The LX 800 was an option for me but decided on doing the LX500 and do the modifications through Modwright. Great reviews on both but I will use solely for 2 channel music. The mods that Dan does will lower the noise floor and increase the dynamics creating a more analog experience. The LX500 is awesome on its own. I’m expecting it back in a few weeks.

I own an AYRE DX-5 in stock form. The DSD upgrade is still available as well as continued customer service for parts in 2019. This will not change anytime soon.

And yes, playback is superb.

Happy Listening!
