Xindak SCD-2 Mods

Dan Wright at Modwright.com modded mine last year.Very inexpensive.Not as much to mod as on DVD Players.Mine sounds much better than any stock Sony SACD player.JD

I inquired about SCD-2 mods from Dan Wright, and he told me that he is no longer doing SCD-2s because of post-mod heat problems.

Davimack,
"The sound is incredible" - why do you want to modify it then?

Wow! Good results using the Xindak SCD-2 with a Kora Hermes DAC? Good to know, because I have Xindak SCD-2 which I've replaced the tubes and the thing still sucks! I wouldn't recommend this CD player to anyone, but with all the praise I've heard I'm beginning to think I have a lemon.

It is possible that you have a lemon. Mainland Chinese electronics production is not as mature as, say, Japan's. I have had very good results with mine (although admittedly I have only had it about 2 weeks). Very smooth, non-fatiguing sound. Do you have a Bertrand unit or a grey-market? The Bertrand's seem to me to be pre-modded, what with their claims of NOS tubes, etc.

Cheers

I may be able to help with getting SCD-2s moded. COntact me next month, the guy is on a long vacation.

Tweak1 - any luck on someone to mod the Xindak?

Yes, there have been some problem with the Xindak. So it is possible you have a lemon. Trouble reading CD's and such.

I know some of us did a group purchase of Chinese audio. We took a long hard look at the Xindak, but decided against it. The One of the importers stopped importing them because of these problems. Supposedly it is/was being addressed.

One thing I have read from the professional reviews, as incredible as it might seem. The unit will sound kinda flat until it is warmed up for 3-4 hours. So it may no be a lemon just needs much longer warm up time.
