Oppo BD-95 file capability

I am considering upgrading to the Oppo BD -95. I read that it will play files directly via its USB or eSata inputs. This brings up two questions. First, how large of a drive is it limited to, i.e. will it only play files on a small memory stick or can I attach, say, a 500 GB portable hard drive. Next, is there any limitation to the type of file it will play this way, i.e. can it play 24/96 and 24/192 files.

Thanks

Before considering going to the BDP-95, just make sure this unit's DLNA non-compliance is an issue for you or not.
Do a forum search and you'll find posts addressing this very issue.
The unit sounds very good, but, as far as I know, there are some severe limitations when one wants to use it as a streamer.

Ozzy,

On Oppo's web site is stated "No, there is no support for Apple lossless." http://wiki.oppodigital.com/index.php?title=BDP-93_Media_Files_FAQ
The link is for BDP-93 because Oppo itself states that both players share the same streaming capabilities and indicates that the BDP-93 wiki should be used for 95 as well.
Not too many options besides changing the format to something Oppo supports.
