I have not ordered SOTM kit yet. Just want to know from some of you whether it will bring good amount of improvements to Oppo-203 as a transport. I have hooked up Oppo 203 to Mutec MC3+USB now. This is my second MC3.. I sold my first one after listening to Roon AIR :-(
I'm not Confused but I have a similar setup to his (look at my signature) plus an Oppo UDP-203 going through the Mutec MC3+USB. I have not compared the sound quality to SOtM but if you are interested in my opinion I could make such a comparison. It will be a little unfair though as the Oppo is not hardware modified i.e. it has its original SMPS. Also, I haven't got installed on it so I can only use its DLNA rendering. Nevertheless, if interested, I could do such a comparison later this week.
At the same time, SOtM is doing an upgrade on the Oppo, including a linear power supply and installing an sCLK-ex board. I guess it costs more than the player itself but you could also ask SOtM if you are better off with an SMS-200ultra or an Oppo upgrade by them.
