Dan Wright of Modwright,LLC (www.modwright.com) will be offering a series of modifications to improve the DV-47a both as a transport and as a stand alone SACD/ DVD-A player. The DV-47a plays SACDs in their native PWM format without converting to PCM. As of this time, there are no external SACD (PWM) D/A converters. I believe, though I am not sure, that to play multi channel SACD, the unit outputs a converted PCM signal which can be fed to a multi channel processor.

Has anyone had any experience with this machine? Is this thing a "jack of all trades, master of none", or does it really do everything well? I'm looking to get into SACD, but also wouldn't mind upgrading the current entry-level Toshiba DVD player, maybe pulling the old Pioneer Elite CD player/PS Audio converter out - yes, space and the WAF are unfortunate considerations here.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
