You can browse through the DIYmod thread for many impressions.

Depends on the capacitors used but I personally say the DIYmod line out with BG caps is definately worth it, if you can build it yourself.  Darker background, and you get slight warmth, and nice "texture" is added to mids and bass, resulting in great synergy with Arrow.  No difference in treble (it's what I feel with BG caps and this may change with other caps).  You will need to pay much more for other source gear to achieve better results. Like a CLAS and 6G onwards Classic.  And then I don't like iTunes, I want to use my own m3u playlists, plus the extra support for other file formats is useful, so I stick (I'm stuck) with a Rockboxed DIYmod for a few years now.

You can look through my portable gear album to see what I done with mine.

Not sure if it's worth paying so much for RWA and built ones, or paying others to do it. I won't personally pay over $300 including everything - the 5G/5.5G itself, LOD and CF, Tarkan CF adaptor, BG caps, good solder and perhaps new battery and exterior parts).

If you need to pay over that, I suggest thinking about a Fiio X3 as it looks very promising. I haven't compared yet, but the only obvious things other than sound, that an imod should be better is smaller size and Rockbox compatibility.
My 5.5 has brand new EVERYTHING and a 64gb cf card, I just want rwa to do it for the resale value, what's a good LOD with caps that recommend? I never saw bg caps but the size can't be too huge, still gotta fit in my pocket you know

Yes, I do. All my gears that I bought always been taken care and stored properly. 
Never sell my gears even don't click to my taste....I am more onto collecting gears.
Btw, the torch seems to find its mate now....Fitear 111+001 cables + Tralucent T1 seems like a great combination for now.
I am using this combo more than my 334 at least for now when listening to Chinese Female Audiophile recordings...
This combo sounds great, and click to my liking for now.
