Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?

Dan modded my OPPO Sonica DAC a few years ago. SQ is WAY beyond stock in every way. 

@melm, native SACD.
Probably reduced jitter.

Yes, perhaps so.  But only if you ignore what IMO is the ultimate futility of building up an expensive disk based system.

Ripping CDs and SACDs is what everyone will eventually turn to for great convenience and better SQ.  Not to mention downloaded files and streaming. Getting a fine external DAC and hooking it up to an Oppo is a great first step.

Different strokes!

^The Oppo 205 as a DAC punches above it's weight class. It's connectivity options for other digital sources is fairly extensive.
 Using an external DAC frequently adds greater jitter. The extent of which can vary by transmission type. Unfortunately the Oppo 205 doesn't afford I2S.  For disc playback it's moot.
