Another happy Oppo 95 owner chiming in, and like the vast majority, no I have no interest in modding it. I've had several cd players over the years, a Yamaha, Panny S97 and most recently an Emotiva.
I can't understand those who find the Emotiva besting the 95, in my system the 95 has a more defined soundstage and a nicer top end. The emotiva is decent for the money, but the slot loader is kind of loud and clunky and it's too blingy looking with its bright blue lighting. They use an older chip set too, probably saved them a few bucks.
My use is for 2 channel only, I have no idea what the Oppo sounds like with multi channel.
