Now serious sound from an Oppo 105 or 105D is now less expensive.....and you can install it yourself and save shipping. In the US or even Overseas, no problem....just send us your output board and we will mod it, test it and return it.....much cheaper than sending in your whole machine!
The mod is basically everything I do on the output board (2 channel stereo board).....minus a few WA Quantum chips.....and you can optionally have that too: $650 including return shipping gets you: damped soft recovery diodes, damped heatsinks, WA quantum devices on the DAC and 7 other places (including on the output caps), our balanced zero feedback j-fet buffer output stage including handmade shunt regulators, low jitter clock and modified power supply for the DAC. Overseas customers would have to pay a little more for overseas mailing.
Another $100 gets you more WA quantum chips and there is also a $50 optional mod to the headphone amps.
