External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost?

This is a good thread and I do not want to derail it but have to ask a question that I have posted before and not received an answer.

Would the folks who have paid for the Modwright modification tell me what I am going to hear "better" or "more" for the roughly $2K investment?

I have enough ear to tell the difference between tubes and no tubes. Is that the only difference or what else?

I have actually sent a email to Modwright asking the same question and never received a response.

It is a genuine question because the straight Oppo 105 was a good improvement in my system - more detail and more analog like sound while maintaining the musicality.

Any well thought out dac in the $2k range will beat a modded player
9 out of 10 times ,just like separates you can fit much more digital hardware under the hood and companies like eXasound have completely isolated
Seperate power supplies to give even more isolation,and you can buy
An outstanding aftermarket powersupply for $400 or under that really
Improve the unit even further in every respect.i have had at least 10 dacs in the last 10 years,finally with DSD you are able to honestly
Compete with the best of vinyl
Myself want the best bang for the buck am leaning towards the eXasound E20 with optional 82fs Femto second which is a 1,000 times more then a pico second and for roughly $100 ,where msb wants $1000s which is insane, this and a bigger power supply ,are a great combination,and the only dac to do 4x DSD to date.future proof .

I ended up with the New Luxman da-06 it was IMO the most natural
Sounding in my system far more$$ then I anticipated but is all setup for up to 2X DSD and the naturalness cannot be denied.

Audioman58,
Did you ever audition the e20?

Audioman, no digital competes with the best of vinyl. The very limited nature of digital playback, and it's necessary conversion to analog, make it inferior in every way.
