I have never owned an Oppo.
I have a Sony XA777ES that was modified by Ric Schultz (EVS), who lives quite close to me. The mods were $1500, and at the time the $3000 (MRRP) was readily available at much less - I paid $1900 delivered from Oayde Brothers. So your guess is wrong.
I've had a Sony 5400 (same as you) for about 2.5 years. The XA777ES was moved into the bedroom system. It has not been modified yet.
"you have not heard any player connected by HDMI for mch SACD"
Not that I recall. I'm not particularly interested in multichannel sound, and don't have a preamp that supports HDMI.

Geoff
