DVP 9000ES Mods? Worth the money?

Any owners out there of this unit who have had any mods done to it. I need recommendations on who to get to do the mods and whether they really improved the product that much. Should you still use a DAC after the mods? Any knowledge you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had Richard Kern (www.audiomod.com) mod my Sony 333ES cdp and I am very happy with the results. Modding a 9000 will improve SACD playback but you may "hear more" from the redbook side of things. I feel that quality of redbook presentation has gone up significantly - proportionately more than SACD in my system. Given that, I have no desire to add in a DAC. Aren't the mods by anyone supposed to negate the need for an extra DAC or whats the point of modding. Unless of course its a transport only mod...
