New Oppo DV-980H
Chrisdor3, that is a perfect description of what I'm hearing. The thing is that I like this player so much that it's really only a minor annoyance to me.Just the same I think I will give them a call and ask. Anyone else have this same issue? Also,... 
New Oppo DV-980H
Someone mentioned a clicking sound. I have a small clicking noise between tracks. Not mechanical as it comes through my speakers. Not real loud, but it's there every time.I have another issue with a couple of DVDA's that I have. Both are Santana D...

"Does the new Oppo 980 have a built in volume control for direct connection to amps?"Bill, yes it does.

Dawgbyte, the 980H is actually their latest model and was built with improved auido as one of their goals.I read their site thoroughly before making my decision. Here is an excerpt from the news release posted on their site:"Continuing the OPPO tr...

Groberts, I went with the Oppo 980H because it's supposed to be the best of their line for audio.It has surpassed all expectations for both video and audio, but especially audio. I figured SACD/DVDA might be decent, but didn't expect much from RB ... 
2CH FROM HT SET UP:Revel & sopia el4

The most unique style speakers that sound good?
Zu Druids.

My 980 arrived today, but I wont get a chance to check it out until tomorrow.I was very impressed by the packaging and overall feel and appearance of this unit, even with the plastic face. I read somewhere that it was aluminum, but it's not.I'll l... 
New Oppo DV-980H
Adamj, you get your 980H yet? I have one coming in tomorrow that I plan to use as a gap filler in a 2nd system until I decide on a new source.It will go with a pair of Zu Druids and Onix SP-3 MKII integrated. Wiring is Pure AV silver speaker cable...

I ordered an Oppo 980H today. From numerous reports it's very good with video and it should do a respectable job with my SACD's and DVDA's. Certainly as good as the Pioneer LDP I'm using now.According to the Oppo website the 980H was designed for ...

Many good recommendations here, but I'm still leaning toward the Cambridge units, although the Consonance CD-120 linear also has my interest peaked.I would really like to hear from anyone that has made a direct comparison between the 740C and 840C... 
Best budget CDP?
Sugarbrie, the more I read the more I'm leaning toward a cambridge unit. However, on another thread I read that if one was to buy the 740 they should spend extra and get the 840.However, it seems to me that both are practically the same operationa... 
Why no love for Integra's?
G-2, how did the DPC 8.5 sound? Looks like it's got discreted circuitry with Wolfson DAC's, etc. With a list price of ~ $500 this looks pretty good on paper.

Thanks so much for the responses so far. Something I didn't mention, which is also important to me, is cosmetics.The Music Hall seems to keep popping up in all kinds of forums as do the Denon's. The Muisc hall looks like a good match, finish wise,...

"Even my new Sony blu-ray does 2 channel better".I was told the new blue-ray players would not play music CD's? Was I told wrong? If so, how is the CD playback quality of these machines.This was one of the primary resons I was holding off.
