Grant, I hope Dan is comping you. ;-)

John, I think you're joking, but I'm making a suggestion for a product I
have heard and compared to other players, and a product I'd own
myself. Furthermore, I'm recommending a used model for which
Dan receives no compensation.

No, Dan is not comping me.

Do you have a recommendation for Tickfight?

Jmcgrogan2,

Thanks for the "heads up" post to this thread, I am aware of marketing within the forum. I am appreciative of who ever gives me input. It's up to me to do with the info what I will. What I don't want is this thread to get de-focused off my initial inquary.

I have another thread regarding the same subject but asking a more open ended question which Tvad has responded to. His seemingly abrupt injection of the Modright CD player into this thread was most likely due to his recognizing I was the same person who he was giving some input to in the other thread.

I posted this in my other thread (in amps) and it seems appropriate here also-

"Tvad

In looking through the hx of the threads on the Modright you have been fairly active with it, but your input has been consistent and I do appreciate candidness. Nothing wrong with having an opinion, particularly when others seem to support it."

Also, lots of good reviews of the Opus 21, some saying it is very close to the Aero.

In my experience, "very close" in audio has never been close enough for keeps.

Nice response Boa2, I'll accept that.

It appears you are considering the Resolution Audio and Consonance players because you can run directly to your monoblocks. Is this correct?

If so, and at the risk of beating the Modwright horse to a bloody and dead corpse, Modwright does offer a direct-to-amp option on the Modwright Sony 9000ES DVD player. This particular Sony does not play CD-R discs, however.

I believe member "2bigears" is running a Resolution Audio Opus 21 direct to a VAC 30/30 amplifier, which is driving Zu Audio Definition loudspeakers. While your systems are not the same, their concepts are similar. You might contact "2bigears" and ask him for some input.
