This Oppo udp-203 was used as my personal CD/SACD/ DVD transport while writing and reviewing as a senior editor for Positive-Feedback.com. I purchased and installed $750 in modifications from Oppomod.com. I would suggest going to their site to read up on these modifications. The mods/additions include the LPM SE power supply, the I2s card with its I2s chassis connector (you have to cut a piece out of the back of the unit to allow access to the I2S connector, which I did with a dremel tool), a 2amp circuit breaker and the machined Aluminum BD-Rom Stabilization kit. In addition to the oppomods, I also upgraded the IEC socket with silver wire connections and upgraded the internal jumper cables with high-purity silver wires as well. You should be able to see all of this in my photos.
The SACD playback is excellent provided your DAC has an I2s connector and can be properly configured to match the pin-out options on the oppomod I2S card. My Denafrips Venus II DAC loved the setup. I found that my modifications also vastly improved regular CD/DVD playback and even improved picture quality. I've decided to go full boat with digital streaming and DSD master files, so the Oppo has been gathering dust lately. I think it's time for someone else to experience what I think is the near ultimate CD/SACD transport experience.
The condition of the unit is excellent, save for some equipment feet marks and a few light scratches on the top plate, as well as the necessary cutting open the back for the I2S connection. Hence my "very good rating." All the rest of the unit, front sides, etc are in excellent shape, except of course the cutout in the rear for the new I2S connection.
I have the original power supply and the original transport cover and clamp system if by chance you might want them included, but honestly, they are junk compared to the oppomod replacements.
My price is somewhat firm and is VERY reasonable for all this, so no low-balls please. Shipping is included for CONUS, but anywhere else will include an upcharge for the actual shipping cost.
