Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications
Fair enough, Melm. I have not heard the stock 105. What I was unclear about was the phrase "it changes the sound." I thought you were saying Srjan said or implied that. Anyway, I had the 95 in my system, and have read all the comments I could find... 
KIND OF BLUE
Buconero: do you have information about when we might see a Blu-Ray version? 
Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications
Melm,I'm unclear what your statement means, given that Srjan has not heard the stock 105. In any case, I find the Modwright version extremely fast; incisive; airy; flat (as in neutral); very resolved, separated and focused; not soft on leading edg... 
Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one?
You might want to consider an Oppo 105. 
Any experience with Esoteric K-05?
Hi Kiwi,Have you considered the Modwright-modified Oppo 105? Just a thought. I'm extremely impressed with it. 
Used, $1500 and not Oppo...
Having owned both the Oppo 95 and Modwright-modified Oppo 105, I would get the Oppo you own modified by Modwright. Either that or get a used Denon, modified by either Modwright or Exemplar. I believe the used, modified option would allow you to fi... 
Using Oppo 105 for Audio from Cable Box?
Thanks EdwyunDo you know how well this works? And is it necessary at all if one if using Cable Box to 105; HDMI from 105 to TV; analog (interconnects) from 105 to amp? 
Using Oppo 105 for Audio from Cable Box?
Thanks db. The question is "does it sound better with the audio being converted to analog via the 105 vs via the DVR or processor?" 
Using Oppo 105 for Audio from Cable Box?
Hmmm...I wonder why Malcolm isn't using HDMI then. Seems like a no-brainer, and that Oppo would have told him to do that (instead of just "wait for the firmware"). I'd assumed the obvious thing was HDMI from box to 105; then HDMI to TV for video, ... 
Using Oppo 105 for Audio from Cable Box?
Thank you, Malcolm. Very much appreciated.Also: I was assuming one could go from the cable box to the 105 via HDMI. I guess not, huh? 
Modwright Oppo 105
Thank you, "R." 
Oppo BDP-95 Weakest Link
It's difficult to know what to suggest. You don't give us any idea about what you could spend. Anyway, my two suggestions are as follows:1. Get the Oppo modified by Modwright. It will make a huge difference.2. Look into much better speakers. If yo... 
Modwright Oppo 105
Jwm and Rfogel8: just wondering if you have any thoughts about tube favorites with the 105. I'd like to begin experimenting a little bit, but I'm not sure where to start; I'm not sure if favorites with the 95 necessarily apply to the 105.Thanks!John 
Modwright Oppo 105
I'm afraid I did not hear the 105 before Dan modified it, Shakedown. If it's any help, I did hear the 95 a few years ago in my main system. It had about 500 hours on it, and was not close at all to the modified 105. Apples and oranges, of course, ... 
Modwright Oppo 105
I received my Oppo 105 from Modwright after Dan fixed the out-of-phase problem I had. The turn-around time was short, and I am very appreciative of Dan's response to the issue. I believe he put more hours on my unit to QC it one more time, but in ...
