I have an Onkyo "universal" player (DVCP-802) that I really like in terms of build quality and functionality, but I've been wondering if sending it over to a company like "The Upgrade Company" for modifications to the power supply and certain other internal "upgrades" (presumably replacing cheap capacitors and other components in the audio/video path with higher quality ones) will really improve the sound and/or video as much as some of the claims I have read (mainly testimonials on www.upgradecompany.com website). Is this another form of snake oil, or has anyone had positive experiences in this regard that they could share? Price seems reasonable ($400-600) if audible results can be had. I will not consider a separate CD player. I already have maxed out the number of components in my stack.
I mean, I'd love to go out and buy an Ayre universal player or similar, but who can afford that? (not me).
Thanks.
