I sent the 105 back and purchased the Oppo 103 straight for video and the Emotiva UMC-200 and the combination for the price is stunning. I am running multichannel analogue from Emotiva dacs and it sounds really good? I am awaiting the results of the Emotiva XMC-1 processor due out soon....
Emotiva UMC-200 vs Oppo BDP-105?
I am currently on the fence about my Oppo 105 just purchased in regards to 2.1 and 5.1 channel analogue listening with the ESS Sabre 9018 chips. How are the Twin Cirrus Logic 32 bit dual core floating point dsp chips in the Emotiva running analogue 2.1 and 5.1? Has anyone compared the analogue in the Emotiva UMC-200 compared to the analogue in the Oppo 105? I am hearing a very thin sound, male mevado just isn't there, midbass is lacking and is just terrible through the analogue 2.1. Please post your immpressions. thx in advance....
