Just picked up an Oppo 83 because it was at a good price and I assume better than my old yammy cdp. Curious if anyone is familiar with the DAC in this unit? IE: worth a crap, worth modding ect.
Main Rig:
Krell KAV 250a biamped to mid/highs
Parasound HCA1500A biamped to lows
Nakamichi EC100 Active xover
MIT exp 1 ic's
Perreaux SA33 class A preamp
AQ kingcobra ic's
OPPO 83 CDP
Lehmann audio black cube SE phono pre, Audioquest phono wire (ITA1/1)
Denon DP-1200 TT. AToc9ML MC cart.
Monster HTS 3600 power conditioner
ADS L1590/2 Biamped
MIT exps2 speaker cable

    It was a while back, but I would say it would be on par with a $500-$600 cd player. Mods? I have no idea...
