In my opinion, these two models are the best cd players for the money after a mod is made.
These two models uses the legendary Sony KSS-151A laser which is the heart of this cd player.
This same laser is used in multi thousands of dollars cd players like Sony Reference R1 cd player
Esoteric, Wadia and of course older brothers DCD-2560, DCD-3520 and DCD-3560.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The sound improvement is very substantial without changing the integrity of
the original cd player.  Many so called professional modifiers change
everything for thousands of dollars.  They change the clock, DAC,
powersupply, RCA jacks and of course opamps and capacitors.  Well,
that's like changing the engine, transmission and suspension of a Camry
trying to make a Lexus.  For that money, I would get the Lexus to begin
with.  I am a minimalist trying to get the most bang for the buck.  MOD0 is
about sending the the board only for modification so this option is the
cheapest.
