I like the 5400 SACD playback so much more than my 555ES, I was very surprised and happy to hear a big improvement in tone quality, clarity, ease of presentation, and musical involvement. Not so much on CD, which I still find to be thin and "White" compared to my XA7, which has much more body and richness. But from what I've gathered reading various comments on the Vac State Mod, I'm guessing it's as close to the Best out there as I can come for the money, and I can deliver and pick it up, no shipping. I expect to hear an improvement equal to or greater than I got when I started with the 5400. I expect it to be more liquid, richer colors, better long term musical involvement, etc. It will be a total Investment of about $3000, I hope the best $3000 I ever spent on Gear! Also, it will play DSD disks that I could make from the Korg DSD Recorder, from rehearsals and concerts I may be in. Cool!!! I guess this like Audio Poker- It's going to cost $1500 to get in the game. I expect to be delighted.( Cut to Homer Simpson pounding his fist into his hand: Because If I'm Not.....) Smiley Face Here.
