FYI If you connect a ROKU stick into the front port of the 105D, you can get Amazon Prime video and music along with the other ROKU features. Of course, I'm not sure of the quality of the ROKU streaming you'll get.
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
When my nice older Arcam CD player died I did not replace it with comparable equipment since I mostly listen to my CDs ripped anyway. I have a $15 thrift store DVD for rare CD listening. It doesn't sound terrible but I'm sure a quality CD player would sound better. I just haven't wanted to spend money on one.
Now, I have an opportunity to get an Oppo BDP-105D blu-ray player for little or no money. It is currently part of a high end home theater system.
I have no interest in blu-ray or home theater whatsoever.
So what I'm wondering is would the CD playback be high quality from this unit? (I know nothing about Oppo except that I think they are defunct now). It says it will also play SACDs as well. I'm assuming it will sound worlds better than my Toshiba thrift store DVD player so getting the Oppo is not the issue. The issue is that I see these units for sale for around $800 or more used. If the CD playback is high end and without serious compromise then I will just keep the Oppo and use it as a dedicated CD player. But if CD playback is just so-so and all the value is in the blu-ray component of it then I can sell it and for $800 I assume I could get a better dedicated CD/SACD player.
Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.
