Emotiva XSP-1 Pre-amp
I own the UMC-200 and find it extremely high quality sound. The DAC's are superb even comparing to the Oppo 105 DAC's. besides the qwercky menus I would say this is topnotch. I think people should look out for the XMC-1 coming. If it surpasses the... 
Which would be a better surround processor.
@Wynnroulette, you may very well find the analogue in the Rotel better than the 103 and just feed the HDMI from the oppo to tv. I found the analogue far better in my Emotiva UMC-200 than the Oppo 105. Increased dynamics, more neutral highs, and a ...

@Hifial, just pay for the ad like everyone else. List it and play the game.

Don't get me wrong this Emotiva is dynamic as can be, and my bass is at the lowest output of -10. I'm not saying flaws either. The characteristics of this P4 are phenominal but I will try the ungrounded to see the low noise level to the pre. Other...

it really isn't a problem. I have one P4 already and knowing what it is capable of I am thinking it'll just enhance what it has already done. The Emotiva UMC-200 is an amazing piece and wondering what the P4 will do connected to it.

I'm awaiting my ungrounded P4 for my Emotiva pre. It's my second P4 in my system and hoping it'll tighten the bass with less bloat and broaden the soundstage. Etc. 
Good Processor
@Dbphd, lol. I'm not promoting anything at all. I'm just saying the way it is. What I hear is what I hear. I live in Canada. Emotiva is in Tennessee. Makes no sense. It is very clear that the DAC's in the Oppo 105 to the processing in the Emotiva ... 
Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT
@Jdlynch, try Ric Schultz mods. From what I hear he is pretty good for what he charges. He has mods directing to which application you need. 
Good Processor
@Jdlynch, I chose the 103 only for HDMI video. I then 2.1/5.1 multichannel in to the Emotiva UMC-200. I though the analogue of the 105 was too thin and lacking male mavodo/mid bass. The Hdmi input switching was qwercky too. The UMC-200 is definite... 
Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT
I could agree with that. I want to mod my 103. 
Good Processor
I replaced my Oppo 105 with an Oppo 103 due to the analogue in the 105 lacking midbass and dynamics. The 103 now feeds hdmi video and my Emotiva UMC-200 replaced the 105. Wow did it replace it. Immediate dynamics and midbass were noticed just out ... 
Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT
I had an Oppo 105 and sent it back due to the midbass, thin sound and hdmi issues. I purchased the 103 strictly for HDMI. I can say the video in the 105 is better due to the better power supply in it than the 103. The Imotiva UMC-200 DAC's just bl...

@Newbie79, I myself haven't tried a P2 power cord but you could always purchase 1 of each and try them and pic from the two. I started my HD with P3's and bought more and moved on to the P4. 
Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105...
@Dbphd, what about the male mevado? 
Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105...
@Ph5y, I think in a revealing system you will notice the thin sound and weak midrange. I had a 95 and the 105 is definitely better soundstage/ extension, detail on the upper range but like I said, that is compromised by the thin sound and lack of ...
