R2R SACD Player?

Second hand Esoteric X-1 and X-3 SACD players use the Burr Brown PCM1704 R to R ladder Dac  and sell between 6 and 8K.  I own the Esoteric UX-3 which is the same as the X-3 except it also does DVD audio.  It uses the same DAC and I will never sell it.  It's that good.

Check out Wavetouch Modded Oppo Bdp-95. It is the only a SACD, CD, Blue ray, stream player without veil and glare in the world.

I saw on oppomod dot com that you can get I2S output which can be send to a holo audio KTE May DAC or Denafrips.  

Has anyone tried to us the PS Audio CD Transport with the holo audio may dac?  or Denafrips?

Why go through all of the trouble modding an out of date and unsupported disk player that doesn’t sound that great to begin with? I don’t get the Oppo attraction and the prices of 105’s/203/205’s are crazy these days.
Just my opinion, if you like the Oppo leave it alone- the ESS implementation isn’t going to change with simple add ons. If you want to try a dedicated CD/SACD there are many to choose from depending upon one’s preferences and budget (Technics, Yamaha, Sony, Marantz, Esoteric).
 

Just like the idea of using the holo May or Denafrips DAC so I can use digital files plus use a SACD transport to send to the DAC.  I didn't know that the HDMI I2S was becoming a standard or at least something that multiple different brands were using.  Not an Oppo fanboy but not sure who else is doing the HDMI I2S PS Audio format?
