Best sounding direct tv receiver


I read a post on audiogon I think that stated that a phillips direct tv receiver had been rated at the top for sound, Do any of you people who work in the business have an opinion of which direct tv receiver is the best sounding, Seems like that there should be a cottage industry out there that did mods to make any of them sound better but I cant find one. Does anyone know of a company that mods direct tv receivers for better sound or a site that shows diy mods?

I have the SIR-TS160. I put it on a Svelte with Aurios Pros. I use a Kharma digital cable on it. For power I use just an old Whale but I use a ps audio 300 to keep the power stable. (Especially good for projection bulb life too).

Anyway, with all that stuff on it, it sounds much better than without!

Try treating whatever you decide to use like a source component and you will get an improvement.

Mejames is correct about AVS forum, but AVS tends to dwell on video performance.
