Pioneer DV-47ai and jitter

Kana, I too have a dv45a being used as a transport. Can you tell me what mods you've done to it, if you did any personally? BTW, i am pretty happy with it as a transport. It makes a better transport than my cal icon mkII with my dac (monarchy m22c + dip upsampler), IMHO.

Gitarretyp- yes, I did the mods myself. They require good
soldering skills and mechanical skills to take the thing
a part. I purchased the factory service manual before
went down this path. If you feel you've got skills, contact me direct, otherwise Dan at Modwright is your guy.

Gitarretyp and Kana:
I have a Dv47a that was extensively modified by Dan Wright including the addition of bybee devices to all 5 channels. I use it exclusively for SACD since I have a different transport for CD.....but I recently ran it through the paces as a CD transport and it sounded pretty darn good. If high end video is important to you, you'd be better off with a player without the chroma bug problem.

Kana: Do I know you from the TacT group??

Regards,
Harry

Harry-

Yes. There have been no signs of the chroma bug in my DV-45a. The DV-45a has a switch to shut off the video section.
It's never missed a beat on any type of disk.

My mods are basicly the same as Dan's transport mods, with the addition of drive/chassis damping, ERS and more filtering on the 5v rail.

Aloha,

Dan

Without meaning to hijack this thread, I'd like to ask whether anyone has had Electronic Visionary Systems (EVS) perform modifications on a DV45/47A/47Ai???
In the attached link, they charge 3-4X what Dan Wright charges but they do list their list of mods.

Can anyone share their experience w/ the EVS mod on a Pioneer?
I'm thinking of a modified DV47A & thought that Modwright was the place to go. Then discovered this EVS place where the mods seem to be more extensive (& hence have a potential to make the DV47A sound much better??? Might be an incorrect assumption!). TIA
