compatibility issues with the oppo 95 and ext hd's

I agree. They usually are very responsive. In this case they have been uncharacteristically defensive and said they do not know if they will be able to come up with a solution. They said they tested the unit before market with external hd's that you would get at staples. They never bothered with 'pro audio' hard drives. Very dissapointing.

Al, thanks for the suggestions. All were tried without any success. Oppo claims they only found out about the incompatibility after being told by end users. I am left to wonder why their 'audiophile' piece - the bdp 95 - was tested using hard drives never meant for audio. It is absurd. I know of others who have tried the latest audio grade hd's without success. I'm going to have to try and get a two year old model from glyph or avastor in order to play my 2TB of digital music. really I can't believe it. I know someone who notified oppo of this 4 months ago and still no firmware update. Ugh. Gonna have to go back to lp's.

Ooops. Didn't mean to re-send that last one. Good points on the formatting, Al. Has anyone had success with the 95 and a quality hard drive that is not a discontinued model?

I tried 2TB hard drives. Oppo said the compatibility issue is with the oxford 924 chipset which is used in the current model pro audio hd's.

Ozzy, did you let Oppo know? What did they say?
