GNSC Wadia Statement Mods/Heard Them?

Sure, Steve is extremely honest...but let me give you my objective opinion of the 270se with GNSC reference level modification:

It is the most outstanding, musically accurate piece of audio equipment I have owned during my 25 years of involvement in high end audio.

In multiple listening sessions (audiophile friends, CES, CEDIA, Home Entertainment Show etc.) of the highest quality transports, I have not heard a single transport that I think provides as much accurate information or sounds as good.

Steve....if you still are reading this thread:

Could you please describe the differences between the reference level modification...and the statement level modification.

What additional benefits is one likely to hear? I just can't imagine improvement over the reference...but I said that when I moved from the GNSC maxed out WT-2000 only to be amazed at the superiority of the GNSC modified 270se.

Dan (Kana): You know me by now. As I always do, I will simply do a week or two of blind A/B comparisons of:

Wadia 270se (w/GNSC Statement mods) without Apogee Big Ben versus Wadia 270se (w/GNSC Statement mods) with Apogee Big Ben!!!

The winner will be the configuration that remains in my system. The bottom line is that there are often trade-offs and rarely is an absolutely clear answer when dealing with components of this level of excellence.
