Modwright Oppo 105


I received my Modwright Oppo 105 today. It sounds good, but is relatively lean - and not very extended - in the bass. The sound overall is missing a fullness and organic quality that I associate with tubes as well. I have been using an Exemplar modified Denon 3910 for years, and so far I prefer it. Naturally, I am quite surprised and disappointed so far. I will be patient and put more hours on it, of course. I am very familiar with "break-in." Dan burned it in for 72 hours or more, but I have only put another 5 hours or so on it so far.

Has anyone else had this reaction/experience? Maybe it is the Electro-Harmonix tubes, and I need to try something else? I am also wondering about Dan's use of silver wiring. Thanks for any thoughts you have.

Any one tried/using this player as stand alone DAC? Can you compare to other Hi End DAC's? How the DAC react, if I feed Hi Rez/DSD audio files? Appreciated your opinion which can help me to build computer based audio server. Also suggest the route like usb or any other digital inputs.

Thanks.
