Looking for SACD player............

Yes, Dan does good work; and I agree with @samzx12 . Mods are not good investments if one is looking for a decent return on resale. I found that out when I went to resell my first TRL-modded CD player. Folks will not pay much above the stock resell price (40% - 70% of new ... depending on age). This is especially true when the used modded player is priced much above the "new" price of the latest iteration for the same brand.

But if the goal is to extract the absolute best sound from a piece of gear, then that's another matter altogether. Besides Modwright, I have a couple of other pieces modified by Joseph Chow (Audio Horizon). Is the next person going to be willing to pay me for what those guys did? Probably not. But I have thoroughly enjoyed the sound and how the mods improved my listening experience. So it's been worth it.

Modwright gives the option of tube mods or solid state mods for the SA 80005. Which did you order?

This is exactly the result I am hoping for.       

I got the tube mods. Looking forward to hearing this thing!!!

Congratulations. Modwright modifications have won universal praise and I expect his mods will sound fantastic.

Modwright has been known to offer a 5 year warranty. You should ask him how long a warranty he is offering for his work on the SA8005.

Great sound with a 5 year warranty. Awesome !

You can't go wrong with Modwright make sure get a CD player with good laser, otherwise , you will loose a lot, My Sony is still under repair, read the post on the shootout we did , and let me know what you think?
