Go to tweakaudio.com. Look under Oppo 95 Mods. Ric Schultz describes how he slightly elevates the top of the Oppo, which allows easier airflow and cooling and keeps the fan from turning on.
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Hi,
I just received my Oppo 95. I have a question and an observation:
How long have people found it takes before the unit is burned-in and sounding at least close to its best?
I definitely hear the fan...up to about 12 feet or so. I do have a very quiet listening environment most of the time. I'm worried, though, because I sit about 2 feet from my player! (and have to) Has anyone come up with any solutions to the fan noise? (other than putting the player a long way from the listening position, that is)
Thanks very much!
John
p.s. I know some say they don't hear the fan when music is playing. I understand, but it's clearly affecting the noise floor. And enjoying very subtle details, ambience, decay, etc. are very important to me.
