I was going to purchase the upgraded Denon originally, but ultimately at Dave's suggestion I purchased the upgraded Onkyo for a savings of about $4,000. I am extremely pleased with my upgraded Onkyo; it blows away the stock or upgraded Denon AVP1HD.

Hi Rich,

I'm interested to hear about your experience with your upgrade company mods. There are lots of good modmen out there, but he seems to come highly recommended. I understand he won't divulge what his mods are, unlike some others, but I'm curious about where the benefits come from.

Each of your upgraded kit has both digital and analogue processing - can you tell whether the improvements come from one side or the other? In other words, does either player sound better when you're using digital interfaces, as well as (presumably) analogue?

I don't really want to go OT, so I'm happy to go PM or a new thread.

Cheers, Nick
