New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881?
Nothing in the same league as the Cary, but over the years I've had a couple Phillips 963, Pioneer 47a, and most recently a Denon 5900. I've had the chance to listen to some pricer players as well. To my ears the Ess Sabre dac are redefining whats...

At 174 hrs of burn in on my 95, Its not the same as the out of the box performance, even at 60 hrs it wasn't the same. I would love to hear more feed back from you guys after the 60 and 120 hrs of playtime marks, it should be intresting how close ...

Can I used the parasound a51 with B&W 703 speakers
Hi,None, better to have more power on hand than what you will need rather than under power your speakers. Now that doe'nt mean go nuts and turn the volume up past the point where your speakers start to sound strained or distorted. Keep in mind the...
