Overall the picture is definitely sharper to my eye. Again the camera may not be able to pick up the difference.
The bass is much better and the dialog is clearer. This is having only been on for less than an hour.
The before and after pictures are pretty good. Looks like the upgrade is worthwhile. Now you need to watch a ton of new movies and enjoy it.

2. Will the old cover not fit over the new power supply? that is what that cover was for correct?
@pitdogg2
Yes it was. Again watch the video a few pages back. They say you can either put it back in place or not and leave it up to you. As you can see in the video they are using a different transformer than the one they use now.
My apologies if I missed this, but did you upgrade the power cord. Your before/after pictures remind me of what happened when I upgraded to a Shunyata power cord on my Oppo 203. If not then a better power cord should really elevate your setup.

Some of the after pics look a bit better, but this one definitely looks worse.

I can see a difference between what I am seeing with the naked eye and after I take the pic. These pics do not do justice to what is on the screen. Hence the reason why you cannot see too much of a difference here.
The last one, the after shows the blue much better.

Put this on repeat and burn her in overnight. I guess about a week of constant play ought to do it.
