purk Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 I'm contemplating on getting my 105 a Modwright treatment. Dan is having a 20% right now and I already own the tube rectified PSU, so it will only cost me $1500 + shipping. I'm a big fan of his work and my Modwright Denon 3910 still best the stock 105 handily sound wise.
skullguise Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Purk (or others), also check out EVS & Ric Shultz. I've had 2 modded players from him, as well as his self-designed DAC and an amp. Great stuff as well, might be able to go cheaper. He doesn't do tubes though..... Edited May 15, 2015 by skullguise
Aura Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 I'm up above 250 blu-rays now. Netflix is for TV, much prefer to use discs for movies still.

swt61 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 I don't recall the last time I used a disc I'd wager some type of porn was involved.

Completely understand. I'm in the same boat but it makes sense for me b/c I'm short changing my SACD collection by not able to play it on my NAD M51. Plus my M51 isn't any better than my old Modwright Denon 3910 and his new mods should sound significantly better. I plan to sell my M51 afterward however to recover the cost of the upgrade.

cetoole Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 I'd wager some type of porn was involved. That comes on disc?
luvdunhill Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 That comes on disc? Well, you misspelled two words, but yes that's how it all happens. 3
TMoney Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 So this is interesting re: archiving SACDs using the Oppo. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/sacd-ripping-using-oppo-or-pioneer-yes-its-true-29251/ 2
purk Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 That's great news. Glad that I already have a PS3 ripper so I don't have to hunt down these other players!
purk Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Talked to their rep today and their new 4K Blu-ray should be out at the end of the year. No replacement plan for the Oppo HA-1. 2
kevin gilmore Posted August 2, 2016 Report Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) bought a pioneer bdp80fd brand new for $300 from b&h people should buy them now before they are all gone. SO MUCH EASIER than Piece of Shit overheating version 3 garbage and if you have a modified PS3, time to dump it before its worth absolutely nothing. also have tested 103,103d,105,105d in case you have one of these. even with the multiregion hack, still works Edited August 2, 2016 by kevin gilmore 2
luvdunhill Posted August 2, 2016 Report Posted August 2, 2016 I have a 103 on the way agreed on all points. 1
skullguise Posted August 3, 2016 Report Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks Kevin, just ordered; I had originally heard of some issues on some of the Pioneers (I think maybe CA said the 180 didn't work), so glad to have that option. I already have a lot of SACD rips, but always great to have this for the others I have on disc only.
kevin gilmore Posted August 3, 2016 Report Posted August 3, 2016 the 180 has a different chipset and will not work. the bdp80fd is also known as a 170 or 160 outside the usa and works 1
purk Posted August 3, 2016 Report Posted August 3, 2016 Is it simple to rip compared to the PS3 KG? How about a ripping speed?
guzziguy Posted August 3, 2016 Report Posted August 3, 2016 Google'd "pioneer bdp80fd " to learn more about it and noticed that Best Buy has them for $266.99 and even cheaper for open box examples. Amazon has one for $263.51. Free shipping at both Best Buy and Amazon. Hopefully you can get BH to price match one of these.

kevin gilmore Posted August 3, 2016 Report Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) once you have the usb stick prepared, trivially easy. About 2.7mb/sec i will be moving the pioneer under my main monitor so its going to be way easier than ps3 about 30 megabit per second on a gigabit network Edited August 3, 2016 by kevin gilmore
luvdunhill Posted August 6, 2016 Report Posted August 6, 2016 Is there a good source of info on doing the multi region back on the 103 that still is compatible with the SACD ripping "feature"?
luvdunhill Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 Any idea if a firmware upgrade for the 103 will remove the ripping feature? Perhaps I need to create an account on CA :/
luvdunhill Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 The answer is "Yes, it still works". Sweet, very happy with this method! 1
