I owned 3 modded BDP 105s. Loved them. Still own one. But I found the PS Audio DirectStream player and DAC to be light years beyond what an Oppo even modified could do. If you’re patient you can find them here for about $3000 each. The continued modifications through software upgrades every few months from PSA have been incredible. Could never go back. If you want a Wright modded Oppo 105, I’ve got one left. But the PSA stuff is simply glorious. And SACDs. Oh my god. I run hi def off my Mac Pro into the PSA DAC, through some serious mods between, and it sound incredible. Cannot say enough about this stuff from PSA.
SACD/CD player update
i have invested on analog for a long time. From vinyl to Reel to Reel, VPI turn table to tube preamp. But sometime i looked at my shelf, there are still over hundreds of SACD and red book CD over there. also some Hi-def in my hard drive. I only have an Oppo 105 to play them. I wonder if it worth to invest on a better player. Thinking about Esoteric, but i never do A-B comparison and don't know how much i can gain. I'd like to hear some advice. Thank you.
