I have a modded JD100 and recently puchased a Sony 999ES DVD player (only $545) to send to Modwright for one of their Signature Truth mods. While I've said in the past I believe that mods ultimately don't turn out to be worth it, the feedback on this particular player and mod has convinced me to give it a go. The redbook playback of this modded unit is documented by users and reviewers as exceptional; Dan Wright has a great reputation for doing high quality mods at reasonable (for audiophilia) prices. The Modwright Sony 999ES is my next pick.
Your pick of CD player....
To replace my nice sounding Jolida JD100. With all the well deserved accolades about the JD..I do feel it outperformes many players at the 2K price point and some higher priced players.. I know many of you have upgraded to the AA Prima 24/96 MkII and its a definate improvement. I would concider this and also the Canary 100, Cary 308T(which I owned a few years ago...but couldn't appreciate on my then lousy system)
and perhaps the 303/200 at its used price is worth concidering.
I also think about the older Wadia 21,16 or 6 as they were excellent players in thier time...but perhaps are outperformed by the likes of the players Ive mentioned above...I need some thoughts.....price point is up to ~ 1500-1700 used....Thanks.
