Another "advantage" of the 205 is decoding of MQA encoded CDs. However, the machine is noisy as it decodes. The music generally masks the noise (think PC ripping CD to hard drive) but I would locate the machine behind the wall (and pass thru the interconnects) if I could. The MQA discs do sound great (Rebecca Pidgeon & Donald Fagen's Nightfly so far).
Oppo 105 vs. 205 in playing SACDs
I use the Oppo 105 to play SACDs. And the sound is wonderful.
I’ve heard that the 205 does a better job of playing regular CDs, but is it also superior in playing SACDs?
