Do not get me wrong, it is a really good BD player, but not really into audiophile territory for audio.
I've had mine for a month now - modded by CHT and probably wasted dollars on the mods as it does not stack up very well beside a modded (by "The Upgrade Co") Esoteric UX-1 LE for SACD etc.
But it does a great job on video & the new audio formats although, in the system here, no better than from a Panasonic BD-35. Not surprising really as the ancilliary units are levelling the playing field.
Video -> Meridian 621 -> Iscan VP50 PRO -> Sony VW200 projector
Audio -> Meridian 621 -> Meridian 861 -> various amps & speakers
But it loads a lot faster than the Panasonic. I had hoped for an SDI mod but Gary found that was not possible. Anyway it is hard to see how the video quality could be improved so I wholeheartedly recommend it. As for having it modded, IMHO you would be better to spend the dollars modding a dedicated audio player.
