I bought a 205 and it’s a fine player, but I prefer my Cambridge 851C. If I didn’t already the Cambridge I’d probably be fine with the Oppo. The Oppo is stock but I might throw in an OppoMod PS and then a fuse but that’ll be it. My Cambridge does has two Synegestic Black fuses and that did make a nice improvement to a fine player to begin with. The Cambridge does not play video or SACD and that’s fine. The DAC in the Cambridge is very good and I’m running my Bluesound Vault 2 through it. Tried both the Cambridge and Oppo with the same WyWires balanced cable and the Cambridge is just better, used same Nordost Vishnu power cord so the comparison was fair.
Those that have done the ModWright upgrades love it and I don’t doubt they are very good but I’d rather spend that kind of money on a separate DAC personally. I’m on my second MW preamp and know Dan makes great gear.
Guess I’d suggest the OppoMod PS, then you can look at a fuse upgrade and buy a nice PC to finish it out. Nordost PC are fast and very revealing on digital without adding an edge... at least that’s my opinion.
I just bought a Supra LoRad Mains Distribution Block that I’m very impressed with. Using it on my digital equipment only and too soon to make a endorsement on it but out of the box it’s stupid good for what little it cost. If you’re just plugging your Oppo into the wall maybe look into this.
