This is the ONE!! Dan Wright should be hailed as the savior of all us audiophiles who grew up during the heyday of vinyl, but whom for conveniences sake, adopted the Compact Disc Format as our medium for music playback. For many too many a year, we have endured the shackles of digititus my fellow audiophiles, awaiting that day when technology would finally catch up with our much beloved "Vinyl Sound". That day has dawned and ironically, it required a bit of a retro design to accomplish the task...more specifically, a Tube based design from Alan Kimmel, implemented by Dan at Modwright. All I can say is that this player will stand as a watershed device for music playback going forward...it is THEE NEW BENCHMARK in digital playback IMHO (ok, not so humble). From the outboard power supply, to the OTL Mu stage variant analog output stage to the Audiocom 4 master clock...to say it is well thought out would be to severely understate the situation. The Modwrighted XA5400ES is simply a direct connection to the moment of creation of each disc in your library with no artifice, odd harmonics or nary a digital nasty! If you dare to fall in love again wih your favorite music and maybe even re-visit that childhood thrill of hearing that first really great stereo you wish you could afford one day...well, that day has arrived and it has come in the form of the Modwrigt XA5400ES Signature Truth Mod.
