Which is Better? Modded Denon 5900 or Teac DV-50



Between these two universal players, which would provide better CD/SACD/DVD-Audio? Potential mods to the Denon 5900 would consist of everything offered by Modwright (This would make the price of both players roughly the same.)

Do you think that in the next year or so we will begin to see universal players with digital out for multi-channel SACD?

Finally, who is going to win the format war? DVD-A or SACD?

Thanks,

The Exemplar/Denon 2900 clearly outperforms the Teac DV-50 and stores that sell both can no longer sell the Teacs. I do not know anything about the Underwood mods, but the Dan Wright mods on the Sony pale in comparison with the Exemplar.

There are dsd output transports but all must be used with their dacs.

All rotating media will soon be replace with USB plug in media.
