Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?

Thanks mambacfa.

So I called and switched the umbilical to the WyWires version. They said it is an improvement... and at this point, might as well upgrade it. Going to stay with me the stock tubes/rectifier for a little to get a base for comparison at least. (Unless theres a sale on them :)

One of the features I like most about the Oppo UDP-205 is its capability to play the higher resolution files.  Whether or not one believes that a person can hear differences, I have the option to see for myself.  I have downloaded DSD512 and DXD files, and played them without any issues.  These sound very sweet with the mod.

(On 3rd day of listening)

Damn this sounds so much better! My wife needed 3 seconds to tell the difference. Not by a little... but substantially. The first impression is that everything is larger!.. Wider, more imaging, more sonics, details are where they need to be, pleasurably analytical, voices and instruments sound like they have their own speaker. I now understand when reviews said harshness disappears, very musical (for me it means that my foot is tapping, singing, and getting into the song and not just impressed by how good it sounds). HT is more engaging also. Very happy with upgrade. Only problem is... I'm curious to see how better tubes sound!

@deanshias,

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the mods on your oppo. Dan is great to with and his mods are worth every single penny.

Let the fun begins with tube rolling. I found NOS Telefunken 6922’s and Philips rectifier hit the sweet spot with his mods.
