Samsung HD-850 and HD-950 players (Our Impressions)-
Reference Audio Mods performs High Performance modifications to the popular Samsung HD-8 and HD-950 and take them to a completely different level of sound, embarassing many $600-$5000+ costing players!!! The video and HDMI output sections will also perform better because of the power supply mods and Superclock 3 mod. Order this unit with the Superclock 3 option and watch this little unit smoke players costing over $4000 no problem!! We beat a Sony SCD-XA9000ES and a Shaning SCD-T200A (both costing $3000) with this unit! Save $1000's+ dollars today! This is a complete no brainer, its now time to get into much higher end sound on a beer budget. I never thought this was possible and the only way to get great sound is too spend thousands of dollars. Not anymore, Once you hear these units, you will think twice about getting into a fancy cd player.... The fully modified unit was equal or as good as the $11,000 Linn Unidisc 1.1!!! Amazing!

Talk about a sleeper! These unitd retail for $150-200. The unit stock sounds as good as any $300-600 I've heard. With these mods, this unit is taken to a very FAR level, embarassing so many other players on the market, it is a complete NO BRAINER and everyone should have one either in their system or as an backup for their main big rig!!! It is comparable to many $1.5-3K costing players or better when modded with the basic mods! Get the fully modded machine with the Superclock 4-S option and you will hear more music than out of the $11,000 Linn Unidisc 1.1!!!

The HD-950 (unit comes in Black color) unit plays SACD, DVD-A's, DVD-V's, CD's, CD-R's, CD-RW's, MP3's, JPEG's. The HD-850 (unit comes in Silver color) unit plays DVD, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, MP3, WMA and JPEG The nice thing is the mods have a great affect on video as well as we focus on the power supply of the unit in our mod package. The end result is sound of a much much more costly and also modified unit. Please take a look at the options as well. Now its time to get that expensive sound for a complete fraction of the cost!
I have compared it to NAD C542, NAD S-500, Cary 308, Arcam FMJ 23, rega jupiter, etc.. and has topped all these in overall resolution/dynamics and clean soundstage! Order one with the Superclock 4-S and start SMOKING $3000-5000 players all day long. It might even be better than some other $3-5k modified players from other companys. If fact, not even the acclaimed Mark Levinson 390S has such a large and refined soundstage with crystal clear resolution and imaging. Hearing is beleiving!

Don't own a Samsung HD-850 or HD-950 unit, but want to own one modifed?? Buy our complete package with player included and save the hassles of buying and the shipping charge to us! (We only warranty our own work that we do on the unit) FREE RETURN SHIPPING! Lower 48 USA States.

The Performance of these mods is much greater than the posted modifications on Audio Asylum or Audio Circle by a complete long shot.

The Mod package (Please make sure you also get the Superclock 3 Option below, highly recommened!!

Rubycon ZL/ZA capacitors-
We replace an abundance of voltage rail decouple/bypass capacitors in all critical areas with Rubycon ZL/ZA series caps! Very Very Nice improvement! A HUGE change in total sonic tonality and character, the stock caps are very bad! The Rubycon ZA/ZL sound superior to even the very best Blackgates (offering more speed, openness and vividness in the soundstage) and offer more ripple current and less impedance which makes them optimal in this use.

Custom RAM Exotic Ultra High Speed Diode Bridge-
We replace the stock noisy/glary/grainy rectifiers with a handmade RAM Exotic version made out of ultra fast SMD diodes. These are superior sounding to the Harris versions and offer Less glare, grain and harshness! Nice sound! Better Video as well! These are wired into the circuit with Audio Consulting Silver Wire. Very little metal is used, this helps out the eddu current issues and give better resolution and bass.

Exotic Jensen 4-pole Electrolytic cap in power supply-
We install an Exotic Jensen 4-pole Electrolytic capacitor in the power supply to replace the stock smoothing cap. This cap has an unique ability of reducing power supply distortion while at the same time remaining very fast and natural. Such a clear and audible improvement delivering more resolution, texture, dynamics, and liveliness. We wire this with Exotic Audio Consulting 24awg silver wire w/natural unbleached cotton tubing. The cap betters the best blackgates and any other cap on the market used in this particular position in the mod. This cap costs more than half the cost of the acutal stock player!!!! This even makes video looks better as well!

Analog Output Stage upgrades-
We delete the stock Analog Output stage (all caps, analog filtering, etc) in favor for our own version using Rubycon Capacitors and silver wiring.

WBT NextGen Female Copper RCA Connectors -
These are the best sounding RCA connectors in the industry and take the sound to a higher level. These are eddy current free designs and drastically improve the integrity of the signal over the stock rca connectors on the unit.

EXTRA PERFORMANCE OPTIONS FOR EVEN BETTER SOUND!!

Audiocom Superclock 4-S Reference Clock Upgrade ($295 Free Install!!)-
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THIS WILL TAKE THE UNIT FAR BEYOND $3000 PLAYERS!
We add a reference quality jitter reduction circuit called a Superclock 4-S , this a major improvement in overall sound! This is like adding Nitrous to a car, huge improvement!! This replaces the master clock and offers much lower jitter rate than the stock cmos type oscillator. Expanded soundstages and accurate instrument definitions for example are the many outcomes of this major mod component. Breathtaking performance is now possible!!

WBT NextGen Female Copper RCA Connectors ($add $100 to total)-
Instead of using the Vampires in the mod package, we can use the WBT NextGen Copper connectors for $100 extra. This takes the sound even further than the copper WBT's and the vampires. These connectors are the closest to "no connector at all" from our listening test, going back and forth, we were stunned. These are the very best RCA connectors we use in our projects.
