Everything makes a difference. I mod Oppos so take what I say with a grain of whatever...he he. The stock Oppo is good....nothing special. When I do my all out mod it is way better and a really good source(the same could be said about the Modwright mod and other mods). However, I now modify a Gustard DAC that when plugged into the coax of the modded Oppo sounds significantly better. The Gustard DAC uses two ESS DACs in parallel but the difference in sound is because of many things. Here is a link to some comments by one of my customers who has the all out modded Oppo and then got the all out modded Gustard and now uses them both together: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/evs-modded-gustard-x20-dac
By the way Oppo has a new DAC coming out it Dec. that will have the new ESS 9038 DAC chip, streaming, usb inputs for hard drive, apps for I-phone and android use and even an analog input. $799. They are claiming that stock it beats the 105, etc. No doubt with mods it will be killer.
