About the 9100ES

The ModWright Sony 9100ES is a highly regarded modified version of Sony's 9100ES SACD/CD/DVD player, enhanced by ModWright Instruments with their Signature Truth modification. This includes upgrades to the stock power supply with an outboard tube rectified PS 9.0 power supply, damping of the transport mechanism, improved digital and analog power supply regulation, and a complete redesign of the analog output stage with a Class A tube output stage using 5687 tubes. The modification also includes a master clock upgrade and a custom copper tube supply umbilical. The player delivers very detailed, engaging, and lifelike reproduction of Redbook CDs and SACDs, with a midrange magic and musicality that elevates the listening experience. The unit comes with multiple sets of tubes for the player and power supply, and includes remote and manual. It weighs approximately 22 pounds and features standard Sony build quality with enhancements focused on sonic performance rather than transport mechanics. The analog output stage uses custom ModWright capacitors and is tethered to custom RCA outputs. This player is considered by many audiophiles to offer one of the best values in digital playback, combining logical, efficient, and reliable engineering with high-end tube sound quality.
