May 15, 201511 yr I'm contemplating on getting my 105 a Modwright treatment. Dan is having a 20% right now and I already own the tube rectified PSU, so it will only cost me $1500 + shipping. I'm a big fan of his work and my Modwright Denon 3910 still best the stock 105 handily sound wise.
May 15, 201511 yr Purk (or others), also check out EVS & Ric Shultz. I've had 2 modded players from him, as well as his self-designed DAC and an amp. Great stuff as well, might be able to go cheaper. He doesn't do tubes though..... Edited May 15, 201511 yr by skullguise
May 15, 201511 yr I'm up above 250 blu-rays now. Netflix is for TV, much prefer to use discs for movies still.

I'm a big fan of his work and my Modwright Denon 3910 still best the stock 105 handily sound wise. i'd love to get my 95 modded by Dan and move it to the headphone rig, but I've spent entirely too much money on gear the past couple months.
May 15, 201511 yr I don't recall the last time I used a disc I'd wager some type of porn was involved.
May 15, 201511 yr i'd love to get my 95 modded by Dan and move it to the headphone rig, but I've spent entirely too much money on gear the past couple months. Completely understand. I'm in the same boat but it makes sense for me b/c I'm short changing my SACD collection by not able to play it on my NAD M51. Plus my M51 isn't any better than my old Modwright Denon 3910 and his new mods should sound significantly better. I plan to sell my M51 afterward however to recover the cost of the upgrade.

May 16, 201511 yr That comes on disc? Well, you misspelled two words, but yes that's how it all happens.
July 22, 20169 yr So this is interesting re: archiving SACDs using the Oppo. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/sacd-ripping-using-oppo-or-pioneer-yes-its-true-29251/
July 22, 20169 yr That's great news. Glad that I already have a PS3 ripper so I don't have to hunt down these other players!
July 25, 20169 yr Talked to their rep today and their new 4K Blu-ray should be out at the end of the year. No replacement plan for the Oppo HA-1.
August 2, 20169 yr bought a pioneer bdp80fd brand new for $300 from b&h people should buy them now before they are all gone. SO MUCH EASIER than Piece of Shit overheating version 3 garbage and if you have a modified PS3, time to dump it before its worth absolutely nothing. also have tested 103,103d,105,105d in case you have one of these. even with the multiregion hack, still works Edited August 2, 20169 yr by kevin gilmore
August 3, 20169 yr Thanks Kevin, just ordered; I had originally heard of some issues on some of the Pioneers (I think maybe CA said the 180 didn't work), so glad to have that option. I already have a lot of SACD rips, but always great to have this for the others I have on disc only.
August 3, 20169 yr the 180 has a different chipset and will not work. the bdp80fd is also known as a 170 or 160 outside the usa and works
August 3, 20169 yr Google'd "pioneer bdp80fd " to learn more about it and noticed that Best Buy has them for $266.99 and even cheaper for open box examples. Amazon has one for $263.51. Free shipping at both Best Buy and Amazon. Hopefully you can get BH to price match one of these.
August 3, 20169 yr 40 minutes ago, purk said: Is it simple to rip compared to the PS3 KG? How about a ripping speed? Just follow the instructions in the page I linked. EZ-PZ.
August 3, 20169 yr once you have the usb stick prepared, trivially easy. About 2.7mb/sec i will be moving the pioneer under my main monitor so its going to be way easier than ps3 about 30 megabit per second on a gigabit network Edited August 3, 20169 yr by kevin gilmore
August 6, 20169 yr Is there a good source of info on doing the multi region back on the 103 that still is compatible with the SACD ripping "feature"?
August 17, 20169 yr Any idea if a firmware upgrade for the 103 will remove the ripping feature? Perhaps I need to create an account on CA :/
