Mitch, there has been some discussion here and also on audio circle about this. I have a stock unit on the way, and expect to pull the trigger on the ModWright mods prior to May 1. The unit does not and will not have digital in or digital out. It does convert all files to DSD2 (if desired), which was a major attraction for me. I had planned for several years to put together a computer audio system, and it was not a no brainer decision to go this way instead, especially as an early adapter. The simplicity of this approach and Dan Wright's enthusiasm for this piece ultimately was the deciding factor.

Brownsfan....make sure you get a good burn-in before you send it to Dan. I'd like to read your review on the differences you hear on the stock vs the modded unit.

I haven't seen a 'before' description of sound on that page. The description does not provide a clear picture of how the sound is actually improved.
