The X0 is an awesome player, but with modding i dont think its worth it (6k$ from my contact in Japan) when my "hercules" can (most likely) beat it. Not even the X0 got such extreme powersupplies as this thing, it got the same wavelength laser, it got direct Bnc (not comb filtered) output. It doesent have the 5 ntsc decoders but my Runco Vfc-4404 got several chips that handles different luma and chroma decoding tasks.
