The modified 8005 has a much fuller sound than the old SA-14. When playing SACDs, the display includes the title of each track just before the song starts. The regular Upgrade Company 8005 modifications are best described on their webpage; they add $300 to the cost of the stock unit. I had them add 3 Bybee Purifiers, 1 to the hot AC wire, 1 to the ground and 1 to the neutral. That's another $300. They also modify the more expensive Marantz units. I think the best way I can describe the sound is that it's much more analog sounding than the old SA-14.
