I thought there should be some more upgrades than just the power supply mentioned by James Tanner (either VP or President at Bryston).

I wanted to hear some opinions from people who may have done the upgrade.

I was considering the DAC option for the BP25 so that I could improve the sound of my low end DVD player for 2 channel. Mainly for 2 channel movie viewing. I am flying to Toronto this weekend so I was considering taking the pre up with me to drop off at Bryston.

The DAC option was a thought I had for my DVD player. My DVD players audio is pretty bad. I have no intention of using a DAC with the SCD-1. If I can get better DVD audio out of my 2 channel movies I think I would be just as happy as having a 5.1 HT system. I watch mainly dialogue based movies (Netfix). For those smash-and-crash movies I go to my neighbourhood cineplex. So that is why I was considering the DAC. I am not even sure if the DAC would work with the DVD movie audio tracks but I think it should.

I think the there is more to it than just the power supply upgrade. Mr Tanner asked me to bring in the preamp for any upgrades so unless there was a misunderstanding in our communications I am led to believe they open up the unit. I have not heard anything negative or positive from anyone on the internet regarding the pre upgrades. So I have decided to make the effort and take the unit up to Canada since Bryston is located close to my folks home.

I am going to hold off on my SCD-1 mods until sometime in the future. I would prefer to hear a modified unit first before I do anything. The cost of the mods could buy me a lot of music. BTW, my system sounds quite fabulous already but if I could squeeze more out of what I already have then I am curious to explore those options.

Great advice.

Thanks.
