Lizard King,

I thought of that most recently with my posting a question of modifying or go with Mye Stands for my Maggies. Ended up going with the Mye Stands. I like the Oppo for it's video performance and took care of the mediocre audio performance with the Channel Islands Audio VDA-2 and VAC-1 for 2-channel performance. I do realize that the stock Oppo is lacking in SACD and DVD-A since I used to own an APL Hi-Fi modded Pioneer 563A. I use Herbie's The Black Hole to help make it more analog sounding whether it is a CD, SACD, DVD-A or DVD-V. But if you read what the people at Reference Audio Mods say about my Oppo, they think it compares to the Marantz SA-11S1 a $3500 player. I would probably modify a more expensive player that uses more durable components than the Oppo for the next upgrade since my 1.5 year old Oppo is starting to have problems. After the Mye Stands arrive, I may be looking into upgrading the digital source. I mainly use a Sony CD megachanger for my 2-channel CD listening. It's linear power supply helps to make the Sony sound more analog than the Oppo with it's switching power supply going through the CIA DAC combo. Thanks for asking.
