I have to assume you have never auditioned a vastly superior modified Marantz CD 94. Furthermore the 1541 double crown dacs used in the modified CD94 are widely recognised as the best ever 16 bit dacs, the ones used in the SA7-S1 are no where near as good, your modified SA7-S1 will never equal the redbook performance of a modified CD94.

Can you comment on the CD94 mods?
The CD94 mods are extremely complex ,initially they were done by Geoff Bull back in 1992 and later even more by a friend who is a electronics engineer, he has done the same mods to his Philips 960 bought on my recommendation still used virtually every day, it would not be worthwhile to do them today, virtually everything has been changed. the dac upgraded to double crown then lead shielded,, new transformers, board plug & sockets eliminated all direct silver wired, heavy duty mains lead, new improved clock, black gate caps, vishay resistors, new belts ,, etc. etc, as I no longer used mine being into mch sacd, I sold it on as I was made an offer I could not refuse, still working excellently after 25 years, despite Ken Ishiwata Marantz telling me many times that the laser etc, would soon fail. it never has, seems to be bullet proof.

I'm not sure how you can make a statement like "Your modified SA-7S1 will never equal . . ." without having heard my player, which you clearly haven't. But you're entitled to your opinion.
