Modwright DVD or NAD T550


My Sony NSP300 DVD player is going back. Nice video but just could not take the audio.

I'm curious whether the NAD T550 or a Modwright or Stan Warren DVD player is my best move?

The NAD lists for $800 but can be had for $400. The software bugs seemed to have been worked out and reliability improved.

The Mods are new to me and I wonder if a $700 mod is as good as a $1500 player?

I'm not looking to be blown away by every DVD I watch I just don"t want to squirm.

I have one of Stan's machines and feel it was worth every penny. His mods are $267 which includes return shipping, so depending on what player, you can keep it under $500 easy. Stan sticks to Pioneer and Onkyo players.
The Sony DVP 9000es sounds really good on sacd and redbook. It is sellind at JandR for $829 down from it's orginal $1499. Excellent build quality. My unit has some mods thar really make it shine, which is something you could do down the road I think Dan Wright's mods for this machine start around $250.
I also would think that a modified Pioneer would sound much better than the NAD.
I also have a Pioneer DVD/CDP modified by Stan Warren and completely agree with Sugarbrie.
