You can get the Oppo for $500 and the mod kit for $80.
It takes 5 minutes. You basically plug it into an empty socket on the board. Taking the top off is the hardest part.
It works quite well.
JackEdit: The ribbon cable plugged into a chip that went into the ribbon's socket and a wire from the chip went into an extra empty socket. Its been a while since I did it. See post below.

- Jack, are you referring to changing out the Oppo ribbon cable or is there a different mod available now? - Audiophilander 10:01:35 03/11/10 (3)
