I've been able to do A/B comparisons with an Aurender N100h (similar in price to the HAPZ1 + mod) and a Melco. The Melco came close, but lacked the last measure of bass articulation and heft. The Aurender has superb timbral accuracy, but blurs a bit in complex passages or highly arpeggiated music, such as Wuorinen Bearbreiten.
You're probably aware of Presto Music, but they have an excellent selection of Hi-def flac downloads at reasonable prices.
Get the Mod and be as happy as you deserve!
