I already have a modded X555ES (single) and a modded C601ES (changer), and I don't have any SACD to use.... I really don't need another changer.
The reason I asked was because after I modded the C601, I still found myself not using it at all. I always just turn on the X555. In the C601, I installed better output caps, upgrade some digital power supply caps, installed Dip-8 socket, upgraded all the opamps, and put in independant dual regulated voltage supply so the analog power is completely seperate from the digital power (two extra transformers, 7812/7912, two seperate rectifiers, caps, etc). The independent analog power made the single most noticable difference, a lot more than rolling the opamp. But after all these improvements, it is still nowhere close to the X555.....
Not all the works yield worthwhile rewards.
