Denon 2900 With MODS


Their is alot of talk regarding Modified Denon 2900's,
I would like to hear the impressions of those that have a modified unit.
Please comments only on the Modified/Upgraded Denon 2900.
I understand that their is no improvement to the picture quality,The improvement is mainly in the analog audio output.What is the sonic performance on both Redbook cd's and Sacd as compared to a Factory stock unit.
Thank You in Advance!

Yeah, me too would like to know. The Underwood HiFi Mod is described in unusual detail, and most of it makes fairly good technical sense to this engineer.
Most of the info. i read is from the folks who modify them,I would like some input from owners that actually have the mod done,These units are being compared to the sony SCD1 and players in the $5K + range!
I have one modded by John Tucker of exemplar audio and use it for both cd and sacd. I have owned some extremely good redbook digital front ends and this unit is on par or better, IMO and IMS.
I don't have much to compare the sacd performance with as I only had a scd-1 for a few months a few years ago with little software to go with it. But the sound here is exceptional as well.

For $2500 including the cost of the player this is one of the real values I have come across.
No use, Mod can offer you better digital signaling, but the key is the transport system is not good.

Denon always offer you very good in high and mid but lacking soundstage and clarifications.
