Accuphase DV60 or modded Oppo BDP-83?

Hello,
Looking to upgrade my digital front end. I live in an apartment, so a one box solution would be nice. Either looking at a stock Esoteric DV60 or an Oppo BDP-83 modded by Modwright, or by EVS (www.tweakaudio.com). I want to use it for redbook cd's as well as dvd's. Not really into dvda's or sacd's. Wouldn't mind the option of bluray though.
The other rhought is a stock Oppo BDP-83 with an external DAC such as the Red Wine Audio Isabellina. That way, I could do USB computer playback as well.
Decisions, decisions........anyone with any ideas or advice?
Thanks,
Glen.

Glen,

I think if you get the Oppo BDP-83 with Modwright MOD, you should be all set. Further upgrade will NOT be good ROI IMHO.

I agree with Rakuennow on transports ... the transport is always the 1st to go in all my players. Currently I have a MW Transporter, all software (CD, 24/96 ...) ripped to an external USB drive and using my laptop to serve the music. It's very convenient and excellent sound.

I just bought an Oppo BDP-83 for BluRay (VERY few SACDs :-)). I'm very impress with the stock unit so planning for the MW MOD next week or so.
