| Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination. @melmI did not know the BDP-105’s transport is its Achilles’ Heel. Now I know that at least for CD playback, an external transport is superior - at least for me so far, using the Technics transport is an incredible upgrade.@bo1972stated earlier th... | |

| my first hight end sound system , please don’t ignore I have to agree w/ oregon. Personally I tried using a power plant only to discover that my system actually sounds better without it as long as I was on dedicated electrical. A power plant benefited my system somewhat when I was unable to run dedic... | |
