Anyone do DVD player modifications?


I've got a Pioneer DV37 and was wondering if there is anyone that does mods on these machines. It's a good machine but I'd like to see if I could squeeze a little more performance from the Audio & Video section.

Thanks,
Rob

Dan and Stan are both very well regarded with both DACs and DVD Players. I believe you could not go wrong with either. Their mods are similar, but not the same. On the Pioneer DVD players Stan completely removes the output stage and replaces it with a buffer of his own design. "Less is more" I believe. It will reduce the output of the player (you will have to turn the volume up more). On the MSB Link DACs Stan will cut a 3X3 inch square hole on the bottom of the case. He believes it helps with the resonance or something of the case? You would have to ask him. Stan will also Mod an cheap Aiwa CD Changer with a special digital cable to go with the Link DAC. See ChicagoAudio.org about that mod.
About ten years ago, I had Stan Warren perform two upgrades, one on my former Adcom GFA-555 amplifier and another on my JVC Z1050 CD player. At a cost of only about $300 for each modification, both components came back sounding as if they cost twice as much as I originally paid for the units. I'm not certain if this is still Stan's address and telephone number, but here's what I have on hand.
