In Reply to: Any benefits from the mod if the Oppo is used solely as an HDMI transport? Thanks. nt. posted by Mudshark on July 2, 2010 at 08:10:58:
I can confirm that the Terra Firma clock upgrade does make a significant improvement when audio is piped through HDMI. The improvement is NOT small. I cannot speak for other clocks. But it must be applied to the 27MHz clock. Also, if used via HDMI only, there is no added advantage in buying the SE. So don't buy the SE unless you are going to use the RCA audio outputs.
Pymble Hi-Fi here in Sydney does the HDMI comparison all the time. The TFL installed Oppo sounds immediately better to anyone coming into the shop when they do the A-B. They often are not even explained why and what difference between the players until afterwards. Does that not count as a true blind test?
