I'm really hoping that I can get down to just 1 digital transport, but as it stands, I don't think I can.

Anyone in the sunny (not so much today) San Jose, CA area, that has a fully modded Oppo DVD player who would be willing to do an A/B test against my partially modded Oppo BDP-83? I'll supply drinks and snacks. If you're interested, send me a PM/email and we can work out the details. Thanks....

Interesting. Which M player are you using? What speakers? JimK and I found just the opposite comparing a Shawn modded 980H vs a 800v3 into DSP speakers.

EDIT I should say we found both players very close sonically.
