Sony XA9000ES mods?


Who does the best mods on these solid beasts?
I am finally moving up to top line Wadia, EMM or Esoteric
and am considering modding the Sony instead of selling it.

A 9000ES modded by Reference Audio Mods or VSE should get very close to the others.
Is there any reason to believe a VSE modded XA9000ES is likely to be superior to a VSE modded DVP-S9000ES? I use an unmodded DVP-S9000ES with video processing turned off as my CD/SACD player. I take digital out for CDs, and use the DACs in my Proceed PAV/PDSD pre/pro. I've wondered whether the XA would be noticeably superior. Of course, the DVP doesn't do analog surround.

AFAIK, VSE primarily strokes the analog section. RAM works over clock and power supplies into the transport section.
Dgarretson, when you stated "a (XA)9000ES modded by Ref Audio Mods or VSE should get very close to the others" -- what 'others' are you speaking of? Thanks.
Dbphd, as far as I can remember, Allen does not modify the XA9000ES nor its predecessor, the XA777ES.
