Thanks for the detailed review it is very much appreciated.
I am also glad that the results are so spectacular.
As you may know I bought a 5400 about 5 weeks ago and at first I was a little disapointed as although very good in some aspects it did sound
a little hifihish but after 4/5 weeks of running the machine has improved
beyond expectation, the new balanced line interconnects also helped.
Thus an improvement on this would be great.
Just to comment on how good the 5400 is in its standard form is that last week I sold my Pathos Endorphin (7000$) which was a very musical player on RBCD's but now the Sony which was bought as a standby player outperform the Endorphin in most aspects.
In an ideal world and for most people that own a 5400 they would like to see a review of the modded machine against a fully run in 5400.
(Maybe Kal could do that??)
I would also imagine that the majority of people that bought a 5400
at 1100$-1500$ may not be able to afford the full mods (2600$)on the 5400 thus a separate review of the player with just the clock upgrade and then a comparaison adding the VSE mods would be welcomed.
I am sure that in time this will happen.
