Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95

To my ears, I preferred Modwright Oppo 95 over Modwright Sony XA5400 in my system (bought both and compared them side by side) . Given the potential of modded Oppo units, I will swing for 105 as this will serve as DAC as well. I liked the openness and sense of increased sound stage of sony unit but liked rest everything in Oppo 95 (rich midrange, body of instruments, imaging etc). Talking to Dan, Oppo 105 is open and detailed like sony while keeping the signature sound of 95. Could be a real winner..

I'll let you know as my modwright oppo 105 is coming tomorrow. I also had the modwright sony and still have the modwright oppo 95. I also added the Bybee rails to the new Oppo.

Jwm, I will be wanting to hear from you as your 105 breaks in. I plan to go for the 105 if it is indeed a substantial upgrade over the ModWright
Sony.

I will get the modded 105 unit mid Feb. Ordered with bybee rail and audio magic pulse gen. Jwm, I am also very I interested in hearing your impressions of 105 compared to 95. Thanks.

So, what 6SN7/rectifier tube is your favorite in Modwright Oppo? How would you rank them?
I liked Sylvania VT231 and Create Audio rectifier in MW oppo 95.
I am wondering if any body compared Shuguang CV181-Z or Psvane CV181-T tubes to popular NOS tubes like TSRP, KenRad, RCA grey, Sylvania 6sn7W etc..
