With all due respect, even at the introductory price this mod is overpriced.  And,  before you all pounce, I am or have been the proud owner of four Modwright products including the modified Transporter.  And yes, I realize that proportionately that mod was similarly priced.  My point is that in today's economy you can not expect to pay more than 100% of the retail price of a product to enhance it.  And in yesterday's economy, I was guilty of doing so.  I'll take my licks now.

Hi BruceL.  I am not going to beat you up about the post, but I am confused by it.

You state that you are a proud owner of a number of our past modified products.  The cost of the Sony HAP-Z1ES mod is a bit higher than the Oppo 105 mod and also uses four VERY expensive Lundahl signal transformers, that none of our other mods in the past have.  It is a very different approach and borrows from our standalone ELYSE DAC, to be released this summer, that WILL be more expensive than any of these units WITH mods...yes it also uses four Lundahl signal transformers.

I guess what I am saying is that I won't apologize for our prices or our mods and products.  I have always and will always offer exceptional value for the investment.  That does not mean that our mods or products will always be 'inexpensive'.  It simply means that they WILL always FAR outperform their price-point.

I respect your opinion and of course appreciate your business to date.  Just not really sure what to make of your post.

Sincerely,

Dan W.

Hi Guys, at Munich show right now.  Updated status of demo units. 

Both Sony HAP-Z1ES and Oppo 105D with our Truth mods will be at the Newport Show!

We are displaying a Production version of the Elyse DAC at the MOC (Munich Convention Center) with Tune Audio, Signal Cables and others.

Our distributor for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Ibex,  is showing our products at HiFi Deluxe, including a production version of the new PH 150 Reference Phono stage.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan you may find this interesting. I have spent many hours listening to a friends system consisting of a full DCS stack, ARC Ref pre-amp and amps with Vandersteen 5A speakers  ==  quite an impressive system! I just got my Oppo-105D with your full mods and I can't quite decide whether it finally puts my system's sound on a par with his, or just a little bit ahead! Cant wait for the Sony unit which should be back this week.

Thanks for that feedback!  I really appreciate it!

We do our best here, to provide the BEST sound possible at real-world pricing.  In fact, I try to provide the best sound possible PERIOD!  AND, I like to keep the price of our products in the range of 'affordability'.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Take care,

Dan
