marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications

has anyone had a marantz 11s2, 7s1 or other older marantz reference sacd player modified ? if so, how did the sound change ?

i will be getting a marantz 11s2 soon and am thinking about having a tube buffer stage installed, to "warm up" the sound. i am not aware of anyone who does this.

does anyone know of any modifiers who have done this in the past ?

thanks

Welbourne Labs sells hybrid modules for players. They come with an outboard power supply, which is a very good idea. This way you can use a power cord optimized for the analog stage, and another for the digital. Same for PLCs.
The modules have a tube input, and mosfet output, no coupling capacitors, so they should give a nice full, somewhat more 3D sound.
