Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95


Anyone got a chance to compare modded xa5400 and Oppo 95 units? How would you define the overall sound character of the two? I am using Merlin speakers with ARS filarmonia amplifier. I like to listen Jazz and Classical mainly. Would like to have a great resolution, vocal clarity, focused sound stage and full bodied presentation (..of Piano and string instruments).
Not looking for comparison between stock and modded units.
Please help me decide between the two. Thanks.

Does anyone know if using the variable audio output control - turning down the 95s output - degrades the sound. This has certainly been the case in the past with CD players. I thought I'd read somewhere that this was not the case with the 95, however.
I am also very interested to hear what you think of the 105 vis a vis the 95!
I assume if one is only going to listen to 2 CH, there is no advantage to getting a Bybee Rail on the MCH DAC? I realize that sounds like a stupid question, but thought I would ask anyway - audio being weird and all.
Thanks for any insight you have.
