Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod?

Hello,
I have been reading alot about all these places that do mods to the Denon DVD-2900, DVD-3910, etc.
I was just wondering if the Denon universal disc players are the preferred players to mod compared to others such as Pioneer, Marantz, Onkyo, etc?
If so, what are the reasons these units are generally preferred over the others for modifications?
After the mods, is the Redbook CD performance as good as the high dollar dedicated CD players?
Is the SACD performance as good as the best dedicated SACD players?
Thanks in advance!

I heard another audiogoner's Modwright Sony 9000 today, and it was wonderfully musical too. It had the biggest sounstage I have ever heard in my system, to date, it was very lush, and pleasing. I believe mods are the wave of the present and future in high end audio.

711smilin,

Glad to hear that you liked the Modwright. Dan is on my shortlist of modders. Would love to read more of your impressions -- was the imaging precise, how much detail was there, bass depth/tightness, dynamics, etc. Thanks!

Tvad, it's funny, these threads are really being followed by a lot of people and audio stores, around the country, and world. It is so hard to pick a favorite, when these modded machines are so "relatively"affordable. I am now really thinking of keeping 2, the APL and Exemplar are so close, I am now thinking of keeping my favorite of those and having Modwright do me up. Heh heh heh, oh, whats a guy to do?
