Good question. It used to be common and there were a number of modders.
Who still does mods for CD players
Years ago I sent my Sony SCD 777es to Richard Kern and had a number of things upgraded. I tried to find info on him again, but came up with nothing. Is there anyone around anymore doing the same kind of work?

+1, @jond Dan at Modwright has been doing it for years. His latest innovation is Analog Bridge. Check it out! |
Dan Wright (Modwright) is the only one I’d trust to do any kind of mods, by far. I have a good friend with some of the Kern mods on an SCD-1. No thanks, not for me. In the last several years, and particularly with the passing of Oppo, Dan’s modding business has taken a back seat to his own excellent component line. BUT he’s currently evaluating getting back into mods with the Schiit Yggdrasil. He won’t release it unless it’s really good, and a good value. Having owned Yggy and a couple other Schiit components - yeah it's a nice DAC, but it could probably benefit from a much sweeter sounding output stage. You can keep up with Dan on Facebook. Not sure if he’d do a 1-off mod on a CD player - can’t hurt to ask :) |
I kind of assumed Dan was out of the modding biz @mulveling that's interesting to hear and @lalitk the analog bridge seems like a perfect add on to any digital source without going through a mod great call. |
