Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83

I recently bought a OPPO BDP83 BluRay player and the performance is very surprising for the $$. I'm interested in getting a MOD for the 2-channel audio. I understand ModWright, EVS, RAM and ASI-Tek offers mods ... can anyone offer recommendations? ... comparisons between them?

I have a ModWright Transporter and is satisfied with the performance ... I understand EVS also offers a Transporter MOD, has anyone compare it to the ModWright?

Thanks!

I'm sure many will disagree with me, but I just can't see pumping the kind of
money these mods cost into a cheap platform like the Oppos. It seems
analogous to the kids driving around in beater Dodge Colts with $3k wheels and
tires and $5k stereos. Maybe the Oppos are built better than I think, but it still
seems weird.

Tennisamp, I totally believe that the Oppos sound as good as you say. Kyle's mods sound amazing. He's got a really good ear and seems to know how to extract the best potential from products. I've bought two of his modifications myself in the past. My reservations just stem from the cost ratio of the mods to the original product. I suppose if one is the buy and hold type of buyer, it's all good. But if you intend to resell, the resale value on a mod package isn't too great from what I've seen.
