The DACs the 105 uses is the SABRE32 DAC. From what I've read, this DAC is expensive and used in other more costly hi end players...though I'm only quoting what I've read in a few reviews.

Well, if it's not the DAC, then it is definitely the analog output stage. I wonder if there is a less expensive modification than ModWright's $2500 upgrade. I don't need tubes or an expensive power supply. I just need it to sound like my high-end solid state Eximus DP1 DAC. ;-)
Best regards,

http://www.tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Oppo_105_Mods.htmlPersonally, based on what I've already heard from my unit, I would not add tubes but that's me, I already have plenty in the chain.
The EVS mod really excites me, makes a lot of sense and has a few good reviews. I might consider it later, as the price tag is very reasonable and Ric does good work and stands behind his mods for life.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your input. Yes, I selected my subject title based on your original thread below. ;-)
Thanks for the link to EVS. That sounds like just the thing for my Oppo. I wouldn't mind having tubes, but not for $2500. All I want is a detailed, transparent sound quality like my solid state Eximus DAC and my Pass Labs components. If EVS can do this for the Oppo's balanced and unbalanced stereo outputs, that's all I need. I'm not interested in home theater.
Thanks again,
John Elison
