Go with the mods from Stan Warren first. His modifications are less expensive, yet they are the most sonicaly sophisticated. He is the only mod guy that I know of that utilizes a unique proprietary output stage, that is world class by anyone's standards.
Sony DVP-9000es vs. XA-7ES thoughts.
It seems as if the Sony DVP-S9000ES has become very popular and has sparked some debate on this site vs. the 777 and model 1 SACD units. It is unlikely for the 9000 to be in
the league of the other two..but the cost savings and ability to play DVD is an attractive package. I think most people are trying to make sure they are getting a machine that will do a good job on redbook..since that is where most of us have the most software. That said, has anyone compared redbook playback to the Xa-7ES rather than the big dog SACD units? Also, any feedback from end users of the 9000 model with Mods from Dan Wright or other people?
