He
What do you think about this brand.
I must say it is one of the best I've heard, and at the prices.
I play right now at 150SE as mono and pre 36.5.
Not sure whether he'd do this or not, but Ric Schultz at Electronic Visionary Systems might be worth checking with.Can anyone kindly recommend a mod guy who can change the digital part of a DVD player? I want to have my new Pioneer Elite LX500 4K Bluray DVD player modified. Talked to Dan Wright of Modwright - he admitted that he neither has the skills nor the time to do the work. I am only using LX500 as a transport to be linked to Rockna Signature Balanced DAC via S/PDIF coax cable - not great. Ideally, a mod guy can take out the analog part of LX500, install a new power supply for the digital board and install an i2s board and connector to be linked to the Rockna DAC via HDMI cable (recommended by Rockna). LX-500 is indispensable to me - I watch loads of Blu-ray DVD operas and classical music concerts - this experience cannot be duplicated via CD or pure audio format. Can anyone refer me to a digital mod guy who is an equivalent to Dan Wright in the analog space? Thanks!
Many thanks! I will give him a try.Not sure whether he'd do this or not, but Ric Schultz at Electronic Visionary Systems might be worth checking with.
Had absolutely same feeling when moved to ARC Ref6 from 36.5DM which in full honesty is a good pcs of gear.I owned the 36.5 PS/LS two chassis combo. Good piece of gear, but cannot hold a candle to the ARC Ref 5SE. He appears to be a high integrity guy though - which is worth a lot when dealing with one man band operations.
I was afraid that would be his response, but hoped he might consider doing yours as possible new mod for him to offer. Guess he doesn't think it would have enough demand to justify the time required. Another possibility would be Noble Electronics who is very experienced with digital gear modifications and they appear to do custom mods. Again I can't be sure about your specific mod but it would be worth contacting them to inquire about the possibility.Ric Schultz said he does not do "one off" mod and has no interest in doing. Any one else can do digital mod? Perhaps it is too complicated for most people.
Talked to Greg of Noble Electronics - he does not do digital mod of this kind. Must be very difficult to find a qualified and willing digital mod guy. As it is, the new Pioneer Elite LX500 is outstanding, miles ahead of Oppo 203 (used only as a transport) and Cambridge Audio transport only 4K Bluray players (based on Oppo) - I sold the latter two as soon as I got LX500 - no comparison here. I can live with LX500 but it could be so much better if modified the right way.I was afraid that would be his response, but hoped he might consider doing yours as possible new mod for him to offer.
