Reference Audio Mod Oppo 970 – How good is it ?


I already have a dedicated redbook CD player which satisfy, but would like a second budget player which can play the SACD discs that I have. It interests me when the Absolute Sound nominate the Oppo 970 the budget component of the year and name it a “giant killer”. With the Reference Audio Mod still it is not too expensive. I would welcome any opinion on this modified unit or better alternative.

Based in part on what I've read here, I've gone ahead and ordered a RAM 970. The "base" modded version set me back $800, and the superclock/clock power supply/cryo is pretty much another $800 when it's all said and done.

It's worth noting that I called RAM darn near 11 pm (8 pm West Coast time) on a Friday night...and someone answered. And was helpful. I defy folks to name a whole lot of other manufacturers who would have a top-flight person on duty at that time!

Apparently, we're talking about a two week lead time or so. Once I have the unit in hand and have a chance to burn it in, I'll remark upon it on AgoN.
