Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players

There are plenty of modders who do full service on the Oppo players. But I have come across an amazing upgrade that can be done by anyone in 5 minutes.

Dr Lee Jaehong is based in South Korea and makes a replacement linear power supply for the Oppo and Cambridge Audio Blu-ray players.

You just take out the 5 screws for the old SMPS, and drop the new LPM in. Nothing difficult. I actually have a Cambridge Audio BD751, and the upgrade was pretty dramatic for audio and video, in every aspect.

Apparently many are saying this power supply in the Oppo103 takes it past the level of 105, and you get all round better video quality as a bonus.

okay... amazing for the money, $280. I am getting much better sound from this linear power supply than the external DAC's I had of a similar price rnage such as the Bifrost and Audio-GD.

Mechans, I have no financial interest. This mob is based out of South Korea.

The linear power supply is 5 screws and some plugs. You can always.... ahem, swap the old power supply back in if you have to.

Nice find Acostas, I just ordered one to try out.

I just hope its real Mundorf silver/gold wire. I have used that wire before to jump fuses and it works very well on the power side of things.

If you only use HDMI, then you can disconnect the power from the audio board and isolate it completely.

While we are listing tweaks, one that is very good is the Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX. I got the idea from EVS (Tweak Audio) oppo mods page.

You connect it to your IEC terminals, it uses power to create some sort of ambient field that treats everything within a short distance, and works best in digital players and dac's. (anything with high frequency noise)

Using Dr Lee's LPM and the Pulse Gen ZX together, takes my Cambridge Audio player to a high level of refinement. Without these two tweaks I think this player has a fatiguing and harsh digital type sound.
