Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox

I have heard and read much about the Jolida JD 100 both stock and mod versions. I have also found the Simaudio products to be very attractive, specifically the Moon Equinox. I was wondering if anyone had any experiemce with any of these players for comparison purposes. Also, just general experiemces with them individually.

Also, I have noted that there are many Jolida mod shops out there. Does anyone have a preference or opinion on them as well as opinions on the stock versus mod units.

I am seeing the conventional wisdom slowly shift to the side of NOT modding the Jolida. Mine is unmodded and am very happy with it. Rolling tubes is the way to go; try different ones to find your flavor, and you don't have to go NOS although there are some very nice ones there, GE and RCA come to mind.

Perhaps one reason there are so many mod shops doing this player is that it is darn good to begin with, and every mod afaik changes the tubes, so you DO get a different sound. Will you like it? Maybe.

Isn't the Sim more expensive? I have not heard it.
