Playback Designs

I don't think the Playback was ever designed to run direct to power amps.

No, you can't run the MPS-5 direct.

Has anyone heard the MPS-3 CD Player yet? How does it sound relative to other players on the market like the Meitner Audio MA-2, Cary Audio 306 Pro, dCS Puccini etc.

Also, I am a bit disappointed with the responsiveness of Playback Designs. I e-mailed some basic questions on the MPS-3 to their website 3 weeks ago and still waiting for all the questions to be answered.

I had the MPS-5 cd player and I like my Modright Tube Modded Oppo 95 better. 17,000.00 vs 3,000.00

Well please don't leave us in suspense Jwm. Please detail how the modded Oppo 95 bettered the MPS-5? Any particular areas where the Oppo clearly excelled? Were there any other areas which you thought the MPS-5 drew even on?

I have an Oppo 95. How does the mod advance the sound?
