Mod for Phillips SACD 1000


I just purchased the Phillips SACD 1000 from tweeter for $399. The unit sounds very good but not what I would call class A recommendation. I understand several modifications are available for this unit from different vendors. Can anyone recommend a mod and tell me the sonic improvements and is it worth the extra bucks to upgrade.
Thanks.

The only modded unit I know about belongs to RandyTsauch and maybe a search here could provide you with his comments. I believe it was Stan Warren who worked on his unit. Other modders that currently have or will have something for this unit are:

Ric Shultz www.tweakaudio.com - not sure about the details you should e-mail him

Dan Wright www.modright.com - completely changes the analog ouputs including the introduction of tubes. See the details at Dan's forum over at HD

Richard Kern www.audiomod.com - not sure about the details, you should e-mail him

Ed Meitner www.emmlabs.com - converts the 1000 to a transport that can hook into Ed'd proprietary 6 channel SACD DAC6 (DAC costs some $6K!)

This should get you started...
