Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE

I've read the 6 moons review several times. I'm just a little worried that the "modern sound" of the NXE compared to the soft highs of the NE might mean more careful system matching. But I did notice he never claimed the NXE as having "bright" highs. I've been told the NXE is better than the NE but I just wonder how the highs compare? I'm assuming the NXE is smooth, like the NE, but more extended. I do remember the previous 83SE as being very easy to listen to, but the NE is much more involving and musical in my system. Entirely another clear cut above the older 83SE Anyone else able to compare the NE to the NXE? Has anyone else heard the NXE and if so how do you find the top end? Cheers, lloyd

Further update! Yesterday I hauled out a chestnut cd. It is the Compact Command Performances "Four Tops", 19 Greatest Hits. This Lists 1984 Motown so is music from the Great Motown era of the 1960's into the early 1970's. The songs are great but the recording is not the best. I had already kept the volume down before as the digital tranfer was "unconfortable" to play loud. But I just loved the songs. With the soft highs on the Nuforce 93NE I can really listen at volume and enjoy it. Yes, the music is still early digital but at least now I can forget about that and just enjoy the great Motown players backing up a terrific group of singers. I think this is what I like most about this player. It allows me to "fall into the pleasure" so to speak of listening to more music. Stuff I largely cringed at before has become easily listenable. If the NXE does this and offers even more ins musical presentation that it must be rather special. But I'm happy with the NE for now. cheers, lloyd

I've just purchased this oppo 93NE. I was unsure beetween 93ne and 95.
I've choosen the first one because of the prominent 2th harmonic.
Now it reached 100 hours burning.

I agree with Bluenose: the player is veeeery musical. you can raise the volume high and it will sound without distorsions. Very listenable with zero fatigue.

But sincerely I ca't understand how people can compare it to 5000$ cd player..
I have a Jolida jd100S,a chinese tube cd player. it costs 1000$.
It outperforms the oppo93ne by light years..

I have to say that this jolida player is really something strange to me. I compared it to the m2Tech Young dac ( a 1000$ dac), and the Young was destroyed by the chinese player in every aspect..

So I think that I'd have to consider to compare the Oppo versus a normal player, in terms of quality/price, something more human. These jolida things are out of any omparison.

I'm happy with the oppo. it has very very low floor noise, it's warm , it's enough fast in the attack, and it's rythmic.
it creates a very solid sound, perfect with 2 channells sound movies (I have only 2 speaker), and it's enough good for long listening music too.

It lacks a bit of air beetween instrument, and it should have a bigger 3d scene. Often I desider to raise up the volume to feel more music around me, because of the sound a bit enclosed of the player. Luckily, as I said before, you raise the volume and the sound remains liquid e smooth.

Maybe the NXE upgrade give more opened sound.. maybe it's worth the price.
It's nice to have a player like this, that you can upgrade in many ways..

no mention about picture quality.. fantastic, of course.

Hi Yurisius. Glad you're enjoying the Oppo Nuforce 93NE. Might I suggest that as you play more hours on the unit see if you notice a bit more relaxation and break-in. For some reason I experienced a rather long break-in. I can't tell you why it just seemed to be so...I know it was noticable and I heard it by replaying my very first two discs I had played when the unit arrived. Now if you read the 6 Moons review of the 93NE and 93NXE it would appear from that review the 93NXE gives you more of what you might be missing. I do know you can upgrade the board to the NXE by replacing the NE board. Music dvds can be rather killer on this unit. Cheers and happy listening. lloyd

I've ben looking at the BDP95 to replace my BDP-83SE hotrodded unit. It would also replace a 3K DAC.

It turned out that my hotrodded 83SE simply sounded better than my very nice DAC. But and there's a but to this. The 3K DAC has a better soundstage and retreives more detail than the Oppo. The Oppo just has a certain synergy with my Allnic preamp, Pass Labs Amp and my Decade D1 speakers.

My current DAC simply doesn't work well with my speakers.

So now I'm looking at the BDP-95 and having Dan at Modwright perform his magic. But before I bite that bullet I really would like to know just how good a modded BDP-95 or even a nuforce 93 really is. I originally planned on a Ayon CD player but I have these music libraries at like to play someday...

I would actually like to have a blu-ray player with 3D capability just for the hell of it (and I bought a 3D TV) but I'm a 2 channel guy so.

This is an interesting thread. Anyone hear a modwright BDP95?
