Modwright is the only one I would send my BDP-105D to, if I had one. LOL. Seriously though, I wouldn't trust anyone but Dan Wright and the people at Modwright, Its not called the TRUTH mod for nothing.
I hate CD/DVD/blue ray players for audio use. The Oppo 105 with Modwright mod is one of the few players that will get me to stay in a demo room when its playing.
Totally disagree with Modwright only. I sent mine to John Tucker of Exemplar Audio and it is world class. I have been told by folks who have heard them both that the Exemplar is a step above. I am not downplaying Modwright, just the comment that they are the only game in town.
You should at least call Ric Schultz at EVS. I am pleased with the output board mod he did for me, and he has a range of options for solid state mods at reasonable prices. If you really want a tube output, then of course Modwright is the big option.
Keep in mind that the Modwright option utilizes a substantial external power supply that is great in terms of performance, but may be a problem in terms of space.
The modwright has not only an external power supply, the tubes stick up unprotected through the top, so it takes up a tremendous amount of room. It may sound good, but it looks like a ridiculous kluge.
I DID NOT SAY THAT. IF YOU READ WHAT I SAID, YOU WOULD KNOW THIS! I said it was the ONLY one I would use! I know there are others! HELLO. Keithmundy you got nothing better to do ...no comment that might enlighten the original post??
