whoa - sorry, frank! i am very impressed by the mods done by alex. i was afraid that it would alter the sound of an already incredible-sounding combo, but it just improved upon what it already did amazingly well. i did a comparison with my un-modded EMM Philips after the new one broke in and was really impressed by the improvements Alex's mods made. i haven't heard a CDSD, so i can't compare to that, but i'd be surprised if the CDSD were much of an improvement over this transport.
it's just too damn bad that i had %95 of my cds and one of my guitars stolen from my car a few weeks ago. it's kind of killed my desire to listen to music as of late. i know it sounds silly, but its really just temporarily destroyed my will. i've borrowed a few of my favorite cds from my brother, but just have no motivation. thieves suck, and their timing is amazing. right as i get the most satisfying cd-combo i've ever heard, they come.
