I can't speak to the modifications your referring to,
but my own admittedly biased opinion is that you'll
be unlikely to recoup the investment you make in an
expensive modification. Whenever I purchase high-end
equipment, I always look at the resaleability of the
item. That is why my system is almost exclusively Mark
Levinson, which has a ready resale market and holds its
value well. Additionally, I like the sound and the
construction. I formerly owned an EAD T-1000 transport and
a Wadia 2000 DAC. The EAD was decent for a modestly
priced transport but not in the same league as the Levinson
#37 I have now. The Wadia was excellent, but still not as
good as my Levinson #360. Particularly in digital, quality
of sound is (unfortunately) usually linked to cost.
