Thanks for all the input on this. It's interesting to get everyone's viewpoints. I'm not certain what I'll decide just yet. Perhaps once my SoundScape 8's arrive, I'll do further testing and see what's more music to my ears.
Oppo BDP-105 vs. Van Alstine vs. Azur 840C?
Ok, just want to get some opinions out there from fellow audioholics! I have a primarily 2ch set-up in my living room which currently consists of a Cambridge Azur 840C CD Player, a Van Astine Pre-Amp and Vision DAC, and Van Alstine Ultravalve Power Amp.
I recently purchased the Oppo BDP-105, because I am adding a 3D TV to this list of components. So now it’s not just my 2ch listening area, but a hybrid of 2ch as well as Video entertainment center.
So, I don’t know that I need the Azur 840C CD player anymore, since the Oppo has more capability? Or should I hang on to the Azur 840C, use it primarily for my CD’s, and just use the Oppo for DVD’s and PC type media?
I appreciate your thoughts and input.
