400 bucks worth of magic?
You have this in yours JJ?

I do have this in my ModWright Oppo 105, along with the Bybee Music Rail on the DAC power supply. I did not opt for the Pulse Gen ZX on my MW 95, but decided to go full out on the 105 and make it the best player possible. It is hard to know for sure if it was worth the additional $400 or not - I will say that I do hear a blacker and more quiet background with the 105, so it's likely that the ZX is contributing to that.

Exactly. I love my ModWright Sony and plan on adding this to the stable as well. Dan's mods are awesome!

I spoke with Kristin this morning but she was on the road so she's calling me later.I really use this for the 2CH as i'm focused on music with a movie every couple months maybe.I doubt i will go Bybee on the MCH for the $225.Haven't decided.It would be more for resale than anything and i dont plan to sell for quite awhile.

Awesome - I look forward to your impressions once you receive it. Be sure to tell Kristin I said "hi"! ;)
 
There are some new pictures just posted to the ModWright web site of the modified 105:

Yep sure will.Nice pics.Can't wait to get moving on this now.

We have ignition.
Got the mod with Bybee rail on the 2CH and the 400 dollar magic box.
I also went with a new 105 instead of taking mine out and shipping.Just drop shipped from Oppo.When I get it I will run a week or so comparing and then sell it.
I also have a Marantz Ltd Ed 15S2 SACD that really sings so I want to hear how they shake out in comparison.
Now we wait!

I look forward to your comparison between stock and modified along with your Marantz!
 
Hi i have no doubt what so ever that a Modwright Oppo BDP-105 must be very very good, but a $2,500.00 mod on a $1,000.00 unit for ME no thank you , maybe if it was my primary source i would think different, but it isn't it is just a backup for my main source if anything should go wrong, for that reason i will leave it just the way it is, it's a great backup for $ 1,000.00 but for $3,500.00 it should be you're main source unless of course you can afford it.

Maybe the investment in the mod would make it your primary.

I'm going to make the same comment I made earlier - have you heard one yet???
 
If I hadn't ripped all my cd's, I would be definitely getting one. Even at $3500 its an insanely good deal. I'm assuming its similar to a modded 95, which I heard and loved.
