High Quality Universal Player??

thaluza

why did you sell the Sony 5400ES?  Thanks! for sharing your story on the Pioneer Elite.

@thaluza,
I hope Oppo gets the AKM top-of-the-line DAC in UDP-205. The best thing about this player is, it does not have the "apps" which would make loading faster. The only discouraging info in - they have decided to do away with HDCD.

I ripped all of my cd's onto a hard drive via my Mac Mini, and found that I liked the sound, and especially the convenience, of my file playback system well enough to sell the Sony. I still have SACD's and DVD-A discs which I have not figured out how to rip, so I need a universal player to play those discs. The Sony is a wonderful sounding player and a good value at its used price, in my opinion.

It seems Oppo is playing this one close to the vest. I am eager to see the 205's specifications (and price).

SACD can be ripped if you can find a Playstation 3 without the first firmware upgrade. I have never tried it but read it could be done.

I got a BDP-95 for $450. I am very satisfied............For now.

TY- thaluza

Happy Listening!

Does Oppo support streaming Tidal wirelessly through WiFi?

yes

I have the opportunity of buying a 2011 Modwright BDP-95 tubed player with outboard power supply for $1000.00. I presently have a stock BDP-105 universal player, and I'm curious as to how the audio compares between the two and whether this will give the improvement I seek for now. The modified 105 is out of my price range at this point.
