I've been considering the Modwright mods, but don't want to lose that resolving quality of the player, either.
Everything I have heard from Dan and read is that the mods do exactly as you describe while maintaining if not increasing resolution. Here is Dan's description of the differences between stock 95 and his mods:

"What jumps right out at me is the increased soundstage depth and width. Secondly, the low-level information and aural cues are simply much more apparent with the modified unit. Detail and resolution excel with the modified unit, over stock, and stock is GOOD! The key differences are resolution, micro-detail/dynamics, decay and a natural ‘ease’ to the music."

My understanding is that Dan will be doing A/B comparisons of the stock 95 vs. the ModWright 95 at RMAF - I look forward to hearing the reports back from that from those who attend.

So you're going to receive a player with an added digital input? Did you get the upgraded cord between the power supply and player, too?
Yes and Yes!

I can't wait to hear feedback on how your 95 turns out!
I will let everyone know when I receive it and will definitely share my impressions!
