Buy a dedicated cd player....the oppo is a do everything wonder, but not designed as a dedicated cd player and therefore is a compromise to fit all that in one box. It’s a great product, I own the 205. Better yet, get a cd transport and the dac of your choice. I’m using both a Marantz space saving cd hd1, as well as the audiolab cdt6000. For dacs, I use the musical fidelity v90 dac and a jolida glass dac, both top rated dacs in their respective price ranges. Another great dac would be a border patrol. But to be honest, when I really sit down and listen, I'm listening to LP's, analog.
My Oppo is a bit too bright
'sup?
In a comparison to an impartial audience between my analog rig and my Oppo 105D > LFD LE IV rig, the consensus was the the digital end was too bright and brittle.
Some more details:
Digital:
Oppo 105 > Belden 840 cables > LFD LE IV > Decware Styx speaker cables
Analog:
VPI HW19 MK 4/Hana ML > Morrow PH4 > LFD LE phono > AZ ICs > LFD LE IV
All feeding into Spatial M3 Turbo S's
I agree with the consensus. Any suggestions for a warmer digital sound?
