Droplet Cd player - tweaks, mods or upgrades?

I had a droplet a cpl of years ago. I loved the way it looked but was not enamoured with its sound. I asked 3 well known modders about it. All 3 told me they would have to gut it completely and start from scratch. I sold it and moved on. I think the bang for your buck in modded gear is very high, but resale will kill you every time.
