| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @teajay Thank you. This is very helpful info! | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I reread this review before scheduling a visit to the Libertyville shop that carries this DAC. It appears that the review’s critical listening commentary pertains to the DAC fitted with a NOS CCA 1962 Siemens tube rather than the DAC fitted with t... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @teajay I appreciate your viewpoint. A “no conflict” statement is easy to make for publications, so why the pushback? It’s simply a general statement that reviewers should make about what their conflicts of interest are with respect to products un... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I respect all those who offer their genuine opinion of their listening impressions of audio equipment, regardless of the circumstances whereby they audition the gear. Audio reviewers should clearly state their conflicts of interests, including a s... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Though I remain unconvinced about the usefulness of those VU-meters. Pretty gimmicky on all audio equipment. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @teajay Nice review of the DAC product. I’m in Evanston, so Libertyville is just a shot up north on I-94 or US-41. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Sounds like there is a need for a group hug here. @teajay probably should review and endorse some under-the-radar product line carried by @audiotroy | |
| Onkyo & Pioneer “UDP-LX500”, a universal disc player, No. Entirely different design. In terms of outward connectivity, the Panasonic DP-UB9000 Ultra HD Blu-ray Player has balanced audio outputs like the Oppo 205. But this machine is also quite different from the Oppo units. | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? @ptss The Oppo service folks respond with info when specific inquiries are sent to them via email. I’ve had good success getting such info twice from them in the past several days. | |

| If not an Oppo 205 then what? @nutty https://www.audioholics.com/blu-ray-and-dvd-player-reviews/pioneer-elite-udp-lx500-4k-uhd-blu-ray-pl... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? Well, that is the Oppo official line now. Sounds like one of their suppliers ran into a snafu. Only Q is how many runs remain. | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? The margins are much, much higher. Each player, from soup to nuts, can’t be much more than $400 cost to manufacture. That means Oppo is making a profit of $700-$900, depending on tariffs and import and consumer shipping costs. | |
| If not an Oppo 205 then what? Oppo is making huge profits by selling direct. They cut out their distributor and dealer network. They will continue to release this product over the next 12 months. The suckers who bought product with the intent to flip at gouging price rates are... |
