I was in the market for a new CD/ SACD player when I went to Capital Audio Fest 2019 (the most recent one)... I listened to players costing $2000 -$6000 and then I heard the ModWright / Pioneer BluRay player. It was by far the best player I heard there, and because 5 or 6 vendors were all using it I got to hear it in numerous systems. I liked it enough that I bought one of their CAF demos. lol I keep feeding it audio discs/ video discs and a few BluRays.... and it never fails to amaze. I continue to be amazed at how good regular CDs sound. I'd suggest that you give ModWright a call.I just love it. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
