I have the Oppo and when I connect the iMac all works well for about 2 minutes and then the Oppo stops "seeing" the iMac. Pity, because it sounds well until this happens. I did a firmware update that was supposed to fix it and the fix lasted about 2 days. I was offered to send it back but I just started using the iMac with the Digital Ins on my Denon CD/SACD player and I left it at that.
Oppo 105 or DAC
My 2.1 audio system consists of the Emotiva XPA-5 amp, USP-1 pre-amp, and their ERC-2 CD Player.
I have an iMac and it is not connected to my audio system yet as I am trying to figure out the best way to do it.
This system will mostly be for listening to music which comprises of iTunes, cd's, sacd's, and concerts dvd's and blue ray.
My question is if you had this system would you go ahead and purchase the Oppo 105 and use it as your DAC and disc player or would you suggest something different?
