Best SACD modifications: Allen Wright of
Vacuum State Electronics, modified Sony DVP 9000ES (VSEI Level 4 mods,
balanced output)
This is an unqualified rave, my friends.

I have heard many very fine modifications
developed by Richard Kern, Dan Wright… and now, Allen Wright. Of them
all, the Vacuum State Electronics Level 4 mods with balanced output come
closest to the sound and virtues of my reference standard EMM Labs CDSD/DAC6
or DCC2 SACD playback systems. If you can't "get thee to a Meitner!"
then do the next best thing: get thee to Sir Allen of VSEI!
