Couple more questions and then I will let this die.  What is a good price for a UA-5?  I've seen them around $250 on Ebay...there is one right now with a 'Buy it now' of $220.  Second question is about cables.  Forgive my ignorance but will a cable work in both directions?  For example, to go from my battery box to the UA-5, I need to 1/8" Female stereo to dual XLRs.  The description of this actually says it the opposite way.  Will it work?

$250 is for a STOCK Ua5. The moded ones are about $500 new from Oade. Well worth it. I just sold a STock UA5 for $200. If you don't plan on running a laptop you will need the Mod UA5 from oade. You can't send a digital signal to the coax or optical out without running through the USB on the STOCK model. If you actually find a Mod UA5 for under $400 you have a hell of a deal

A couple things to keep in mind, Kevin:

[1]  The Oade Bros only mod UA-5s purchased directly from the Oade Bros.  I think they charge $300 for the stock unit.

[2]  See Ducati's post about the different mods offered by the Oade Bros.  Mod 1 below is, I think, $75.  So, $375 for stock + mod 1.  You can then add Mod 2a or 2b if you like, but it is not required.  Not sure of the pricing on Mod 2a/b.

Oade offers 2 levels of mods for the UA5:

1. Digi mod: this allows you to output a signal on the coax and optical outputs, as well as the USB (standard UA5 only allows output on USB).

2. Preamp mods: a mod to the preamp section of the unit that is supposed to increase performance significantly.  When you buy the preamp mod unit, it includes the digi mod.  Furthermore, Oade offers 2 preamp mods:
2a. warm mod aims to provide a huge soundstage, euphonic coloration, and sound as tubey as SS allows
2b. clarity mod aims to be as fast and accurate as possible.

If I got the mod-1, would I be able to go back at a later time and add the rest of them?

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure if you got the UA5 + mod 1 (coax), you could send it back at a later date to have one of the preamp mods done.

If you're thinking about going down this road, give the Oade Bros a call to confirm this is true - they're good folks to speak with on the phone, very helpful.

But I would, at the least, have to get the first mod to be able to use the optical out?

That is a true statement if you're talking about using the UA5 in "standalone mode" that is, not connected to a laptop.

If you're looking to go mics > UA5 > NJB3 or something, yes, you need the Oade digi mod.  

Definitely give them a call, they're great people to deal with, IMO
