Are sacd mods really worth the money?


I just got the Phillips 1000 at Tweeter and wondered if the mod upgrades on say , Reference audio Mods are worth it . It will cost apx 1200 $ to do their best upgrade. Should I just wait to get a used SA 1 or bite the bullet now with the mods .?. Playback system; Aerial 20 ts Aerial cc5 and Aerial sw 12 subs across front. Aerial 10 ts on rear. Meridian 861 -800 v 3 and 2 BAT 6200 multichannel amps bi amping all 5 . Nordost spms all around. Quattro Fils connect . . Already supoporting dvd a but stepping into sacd .Thanks for any help!!

The first thing everyone who bought a Philips 1000 has to
do is, take it out of the box,break it in and listen to it.

It's a very good sounding player once it's got some hours on it.

The Reference Audio Mod's Performance Upgrade Plus mod changes a lot of parts for $1200.(parts-$782.+ labor, their stage three mod is $2100.),the key is what parts make the biggest bang for the buck.

Suggest you talk with other modifiers like Stan Warren and
see what they offer.

I plan on doing some dyi mods to my unit, but I don't think
it's wise to invest alot of money.

What's the resale value on a $400. player with a $1200. mod?
Will it sound better than a stock SA 1, that has an establish resale value?
