Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?

Thinking about getting the modwright for my Oppo udp205. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Right...so you take your car to have the engine rebuilt. Then after the job is done if you dont like it you should have them completely take the engine apart again and have them change it back to the way it was and get all your money back. IDIOTIC!!!!

I wish people had to qualify before being allowed to post...like an Audiogon IQ test.

I have a friend whose ears I trust sell his Linn Klimax server for a Modwright Oppo and he prefers the Oppo. Just as an aside, try putting a Vibrapod under each of the Oppo's feet.  I am normally not much of a believer in this type of stuff, but IMO, there was a big improvement in the sound.  I generally don't feel like expending the effort for A/B comparisons, but I went back and forth a few times and I much preferred the sound with Vibrapods,.  I used the 3's, which were what I had around.

Getting excited to hear this... Cant believe I'm DAC-less for almost two more weeks, feels like the 90's...  not sure if I'll be upset or happy, if this mod sounds better than vinyl.

Even though Dan burns in the mod. I find that it took a day or so of playing to really start opening up. Not sure if those JJ6922 tubes need some time but I really hear noticeable improvements with everything I throw at it.
