Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95


Anyone got a chance to compare modded xa5400 and Oppo 95 units? How would you define the overall sound character of the two? I am using Merlin speakers with ARS filarmonia amplifier. I like to listen Jazz and Classical mainly. Would like to have a great resolution, vocal clarity, focused sound stage and full bodied presentation (..of Piano and string instruments).
Not looking for comparison between stock and modded units.
Please help me decide between the two. Thanks.

The Sony is superior to any Oppo player for 2 channel in my book. The Oppo still imparts it's "processor" sound on the music.
The Modright Oppo 105 blows the doors off the Modright Oppo 95. I only have 30 hours on the player and if it did not break in any more I would be pleased like a pig in mud. This player is way more organic in the mids, much quieter, more dynamic, and the pace is much faster. The soundstage is huge with much better image outlines. Dan hit this one out of the ball park. The Oppo 95 is much slower much more lean in the mids. Thank you Dan you did it again.
I also heard the Modwright OPPO 105 and it clearly betters the modified 95 (which I really enjoyed).It is an improvement in all parameters.The most noticeable are an increased transparency, resolution and a more open spacious sound.In addition this unit has an increased organic-natural character. Music is powerful yet with sense of ease flow.The 95 was very good, the modified 105 has advanced to an entirety superior level.There's more emotion communication which is for me a high level compliment.

Thanks Jwm and Charles1dad. This is very exciting. How is the base response compared to 95? Let us know how it changes over time..
