Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE

Finally got around to reading the Stone review, thank you very much for the head's up. It was very useful to me; I'm 2 channel only so based on his review I'd want a stock 95 rather than a Nu-Force 93.

Their are 2 other comparisons I wish he would have made: SACD & DVD-A vs cd, & the 95 (his 2 channel winner) vs top rated 1-3k cd players.

Hopefully Stereophile will soon do the more through 95 follow up JA promised me months ago.

I bought a stock 95 yesterday due to 2 year same as cash financing at a local store that now carries Oppo (I was also able to demo it at the local store, another big +). It obviously needs several weeks of burn in before judging the sound, but I'm already blown away with it's sound on 96/24 flac files. Hoping cd will be equally impressive once it burns in, but I'll be reasonably content just to get quality on hi-res source material.

Hello, Moomoo. I think you'll be a very happy camper. I have read it can take up to 300 hours to break the 95 in fully. If you have a better power cord give it a try also after breakin so you can hear what it gives you. Music played back on the USB on the Oppo 93NE is superb probably because the rotation of the cd is taken out of the playback IMO...Have fun. That's the great thing about the Oppos. They're really out there on the fun factor scale. cheers, lloyd

Bluenose, I tried the USB drive tonight. All I can say is................ WOW.

4 days out of the box, & in h-r with the usb drive, it's already the best sounding digital I've ever heard.

Moomoo, do you hear any fan noise with the stock 95? How quiet is the rest of you gear before you added the 95?
