This is a FABULOUS mod for an exciting new player.
Others are 'modifying' the player with upgraded connectors and parts, but few are re-engineering the analog stage and upgrading the power supplies the way that we are. When we get done, you will have a TRUE UNIVERSAL player with stereo and (7) out of 7.1 channels all upgraded with our proprietary discrete mosfet analog stage circuit featuring zero global feedback and NO op-amps. All analog stage circuits will be fed via our own internal dedicated power supply.
The sound is open and resolving and the bass is rock solid!
Oppo has hit one RIGHT out of the park this time and we are happy to boost its performance from the ballpark right on out to the atmosphere!

"The discussion about comparisons of Modwright and other modders
has been going on for years.
The bottom line as far as I am concerned is you get what you pay for.
There are many good reasons why Modwright has succeeded on such a large
scale, while others remain small, niche, one-man companies.

Modwright Instruments modded Oppo BDP-83
I just received my new Modwright/Oppo BDP-83.
WOW!
Right out of the box:
Very musical and balanced.
The bottom end is solid without exaggeration.
The mids are clear and detailed without any trace of being analytical.
The top end is delicate and pristine.
Overall the soundstage is wide, deep and present, yet not “in your face”.
Over the years I have owned 2 box Krells and Mark Levinsons, single unit Audio Research, Musical Fidelity and Esoteric, and a Musical Fidelity D/A converter. Each had their advantages and disadvantages. They were either too warm (lacking details and high end extension) or far too analytical (lacking musicality) preventing me to feel the emotions conveyed by the artists.
I generally spend too much time reading and analyzing specifications.
The merits of the Oppo BDP-83 vs. the SE, modded versus unmodded, and comparing dacs on paper, for me are now mute.
Dan’s creation is world class. My CDs and SACDs have never sounded this good.
A friend of mine (David Hare) owns an audio shop in Walnut Creek, California – his motto is “Don't Analyze... Be Mesmerized”.
Take his advice, stop analyzing and enjoy your music. Not only is Dan’s modification an excellent audio source – it is also an excellent video source.
The price and value are unparalleled.
