Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE

Well, I've listened to this unit for about 18 hrs. I prefer to listen and breakin at the same time. But I just had to comment on how deep into the bass this unit goes in my system in my room. This is rivaling my Roxan Zerxes in bass quality. CD has never produced this sheer quality of bass here. You can hear the wonderful rich tones of bowed string intruments. I swear I can hear the foot movements on kick drums on one recording. Before I was assuming it was electric bass...Nope!Pianos are very natural. Voices are excellent. I've heard Mary Gauthier for the very first time and the hair stands up. Her voice suffers pain and ache but compells you to listen. Now this is in my system...YMMV. But this is a serious step up from the NE IMO...cheers, lloyd

This should be interesting. My OPPO Nuforce 93NE went back for warrenty work.

Quick update. Received the Nuforce 93 NXE today and am now burning it in.

Just a question: did it take you this time between posts to receive your warrantied unit back again?

Hi, Operatenore. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. There was a hold up at the border and I had to fax additional paperwork for the machine to clear into the US.(this was not my fault or Oppo or Nuforce). I shipped Fedex ground and once in the US it was very good. At Nuforce the warrenty part was replaced at the OPPO facility, the unit tested and firmware updated, and than sent back to Nuforce where the board was exchanged from the NE to the NXE. Turnaround at the OPPO facility was quick. Nuforce kept me in the loop throughout e-mailing me as each step happened. Nuforcer returned the unit by Fedex[shipping on Monday and I received it Thursday(a lot quicker through customs on the way back,) go figure....All in all I was pleased and very happy with the unit. You would not have this difference in time in the States....hope this answers your question. The delays were not the fault of OPPO or Nuforce, both of whom were very good. cheers, lloyd

I'm at the 40 hr mark on the NXE board. This player just relaxes you into the music. Ever notice how music can seem almost slower and than it hits you that is just easy and natural in its flow? Relaxing? This player does that. Shelby Lynn is sooo good. Patricia Barber is better than ever I rmembered her. Isn't it amazing how favourite pieces of music you know inside out can still reveal nuances in the vocals that you hadn't heard before? This player does soft very, very well....not an easy thing. The music emerges from a very quiet background. I think that is why I hear more soft clues..but this is paired with superb dynamic range....quite a delight all in all. Will make a final observation at the 50 hour point after which I'm just going to continue to enjoy the music. This NXE board is seriously musical...cheers, lloyd

After a very busy week I've finally had a chance to start listening to the NXE again. One of my nephews set down with me to listen to Sade's Soldier of Love. an album we both love. For a moent he said nothing. I though something was wrong. "WHOW," was all he managed. "That is real bass...it's really deep," he said. He listened some more. Everthing is so clear, exact and easy to hear and see locations," Drums and instruments project out into the room like never before," he added. Than he just listened and listened until finally he had to go home. He had liked the NE board but was simply awed by the NXE board. I also feel the same. It's just plain superior....How high up the rung it goes I don't think really matters to me. All I know is I have to listen to all my music again. It compelles me...:)...it makes me smile and if music can't do that,,it ain't working....happy listening everyone...cheers, lloyd
