I own an unmodded SCD-1. I had it in my system (at that time consisted of MF A3CR pre and power, and Dynaudio Confidence C4) for the best of five years, and could never enjoy what I was listening to. OK the bass on SACD was exceptional as was resolution, but in my set up it was an unbalance sound. I am enjoying the YAMAHA CD-S2000 much more than the SCD-1, always in my room and system...
I KNOW I have both!
Through the Sony the reproduction was certainly HIFI but 'lifeless'-inorganic. Sure there's pride of ownership, but that won't make sound interesting, though pschologically it helps.
No offense intended to any member but that is my personal experience, which in the past included players like Marantz, Meridian, Pioneer, and Audio Synthesis.
