HowdyI avoided mods for a while for the reasons you list. But there is no question that the mods that some modders do are quite obvious. Years ago I had a Perp Tech P-3A dac and since the manufacturer stood behind ModWright's mods to it I figured I had nothing to loose. I was frankly incredulous at the difference having it modded, but since it sounded a lot more like SACD I decided it was good :)
At the local audio club we've had modded units next to unmodded units and a few times it was like you describe, just a slight difference but arguable which is better.
On the other hand some mods are like night and day. Here's a report I posted here long ago: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/40299.html
Needless to say I don't recommend some modder's work, but I do other's... (And no, don't ask in public who's work I don't like.)
