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.

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.

Hey Jeff(JWM), you too Charles, let's be clear on this, you both kinda like the new MW/Oppo 105? Your comments were sorta vague.
