dee,Your conclusion of my assessment is inadequate. The components of most commercial products must be selected to meet a price point. A modder can reverse those compromises by upgrading where the OEM selected a lower grade part. Another type of mod can be the use of a component with newer or improved technology, most likely a later DAC. What I doubt is the prowess of a modder to substitute his design or engineering skills for those of the OEM. If you have ever visited a Sony lab and exchanged ideas with their scientists, you know they can attract top talent, talent unlikely to be available to a modder.
