Some reasons why Modwright likes the marantz SA8005 for high quality 2 channel audio.
1. No video circuitry 2. All digital circuitry are fully isolated from analog circuitry. ("very important with modern Hi Rez media and I have not seen this in other players" ) 3. All linear power supplies, well executed.
I know Modwright has been doing mods for a long time and get great reviews but I would be very reluctant to spend much money on mods as you NEVER get a good return on resale.
Well, I bought an SA8005 and sent it directly to Modwright for full on modifications. I'm fourth in line so it shouldn't take very long. It's more than I was planning on spending but this will more than likely be my last player as I'm getting "long in the tooth" as the old saying goes. I'll post back when I get it. Thanks for the participation folks.
