You could call The Music Room and ask them how they would evaluate modded units.
With cars and motorcycles, one rarely gets any thing over the price of the same vehicle without mods, and getting less is common, unless the vehicle was modded by a well known tuner with a excellent reputation.
For me, a modded DS would be worth less if I were to buy one.

You must be chuffed to be a beta tester! Congrats. Very much looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
With the matrix in play, your set up might be pretty close in effect to what one might have with the DSII with the AirLens?
Just got the call! Also a beta tester here! Shipping in about a week or two. Let the good times roll!

I will definitely keep you and everyone updated, looking forward to it and will probably take a few days off from work when it arrives to focus on it.

Yâknow, someone with a modded Mk.I should be on that beta tester list. Would be a really interesting insight into how the mods stack up against the Mk.II. But having said that, I could see why maybe PS Audio would choose to skip that. It would add that much more confusion to things.

I paid a fair price for a DSD with the Edcor transformers and J.K. Richardsâ power board, a Farad power supply and some 3M treatment. . . and am exceedingly happy to have done so. A decided improvement.

I can see how youâd feel that way, until you hear a modded and unmodded side-by-side. The only worry should be if the modding work is quality. Thatâs easy enough to confirm with a simple visual inspection.

The call! The mysterious and most welcome call! The Sirenâs song! Oh to know the future and the past!
