Which is Better? Modded Denon 5900 or Teac DV-50



Between these two universal players, which would provide better CD/SACD/DVD-Audio? Potential mods to the Denon 5900 would consist of everything offered by Modwright (This would make the price of both players roughly the same.)

Do you think that in the next year or so we will begin to see universal players with digital out for multi-channel SACD?

Finally, who is going to win the format war? DVD-A or SACD?

Thanks,

First, the DV-5o exceeds the 5900 in all aspects of performance. The 5900 does not upsample, or have the D/A convertor build of the DV-50. The 5900 is a good machine but only exceeds the DV-50 in price not value.
Second, A digital out would permit you to make digital copies.
Third, Sacd and DVD-Audio will both fade away as the Blu-Ray technologies come to fruition.
