You are so lucky. In my part of the world, there is no such thing as 30 days return policy.
Thank you for your review as I am also wondering if a dozen hundred USD will do the trick.

Well, I'm going to reassess the situation after I've given it some break-in time. However, there is probably a good reason that at least two other companies have developed modifications for its analog output stage.

Those mods incorporate a tubed output stage, hardly the last word in accurate reproduction. It is well-known that 2nd order harmonic distortion is euphonic and somewhat pleasing to most people's ears. But it *is* distortion nonetheless...

Actually, one of mods to which I was referring is solid-state. It is also reasonably priced.
Thanks,

Yes, audiophile insecurity. There's a lot of that going around.
For years they have provided about the same mods to Oppo units, though Oppo has improved them over time. My own surmise is that over the years they are providing less and less marginal improvement. They may be providing some tone controls though.
The unadorned Oppo is doing splendidly in my setup and it replaced an outstanding Lavry DAC.
The only advice I would offer is not consider a mod until the unit is thoroughly broken in.
