Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83

Have had Dan do several mods on my equiptment. The advantage you get with Dan is that he is not just a tech, he is also a builder. He doesn't just replace parts but knows what parts replacement produces better sound.

Agree Magnumpi205. Dan has he own line of highly acclaim components so he knows his stuff. Like I said, I'm sure all the mods will be a major upgrade to stock but going with Dan mainly from positive past experience. Lately I've been very adventurist in trying unknown components with positive results so don't want to push my luck any further :-)

Dan said he's contemplating a tube analog output stage for the BDP83 ... but since I already have the MW Transporter, I'm going with SS this time. Currently have all tube components and getting too hot in the summer so need some SS ... :-)

Tennisamp,

How much was required in mod for the Oppo to beat your Ayre C5xe?

Thanks,

Tennisamp, I'd like to find out more about how the modded Oppo sounded next to the C5xe.

I'm sure many will disagree with me, but I just can't see pumping the kind of
money these mods cost into a cheap platform like the Oppos. It seems
analogous to the kids driving around in beater Dodge Colts with $3k wheels and
tires and $5k stereos. Maybe the Oppos are built better than I think, but it still
seems weird.
