Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Whitestix, I think we've pretty much brought that one to it's conclusion, but I'll say it again: one man's reference is another man's crap. It's all about what you can afford, baby. 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Vahes,It may be called something like "layer", which is how it's designated on my Marantz. I'm sure it could be called something else as well. Maybe in the oppo's case, it's something a bit more esoteric. I'm sure it's there. 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
There MUST be a button, either on the remote or on the front of the player that allows you to do that on the fly. I can not imagine that you would have to go in the menu to find it, and then pick only ONE layer. How cumbersome. Sorry, it makes no ... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
As far is I know, it functions like any other multi format/channel player--like my marantz UD7007. It allows me to adjust, on the fly, to either the multi channel or stereo layer. It will also keep the last choice you made as your default choice. ... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Hey there jafant,I must confess, and I hang my head in shame! I haven't gotten anything yet!Although all the responses were excellent and informative, I think I became partially paralyzed with indecision. Plus, I've always been a really slow guy w... 
Legacy Audio Class D Amps--has anyone heard one, or own one?
Yes csmgolf, thanks for that. I was indeed referring to the current Legacy Audio amplifiers, which are class d. But I had no idea they made an AB amp in the past. They're quite good then?Thanks. 
20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017
Good thread. I have an old Proceed Amp5 in need of TLC sitting around, that I've been debating back and forth about investing in a rebuild. It functions, but it's not working at its potential. Anyone have any thoughts?I would think, that when comp... 
This guy just doesn't stop...
50k to come to your house for two hours. No thanks. 
What is it that you don't like about your speakers ?
Mine tell it like it is: crap sounds like crap, and great stuff sounds terrific. ( you thought I was gonna say"great") Midrange is a bit too recessed too. 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
@tomcarr, boneman, and pokey....Interesting. Good comments, thanks for that. I like a warm sound, good midrange, but not rolled off highs. The Oppo sound might appeal to me after all, especially with my speakers. What the heck? I can always return... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Yeah, but I just can't get over the fact that it's a mid-fi priced disc player, and that it plays video too. It's almost a mantra that you can't get true reference two channel from a player that does video as well, so reasonably priced. Something ... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Highstream, I was actually considering the marantz 14s1 or the Oppo, but i understand your point.A good buddy of mine, whose opinion I respect, highly recommends the Oppo, just on its specs alone. I'm thinking about getting off the pot, and just b... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Ok....my mistake, thanks for letting me down easy and not letting me look too foolish. So, the cost of the mods are considerably more reasonable then for a ModWright mod.Sounds tempting, as well as a little confusing. But I'm interested. 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Who is doing your mods? 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Sounds like the only way to do it, apart from getting opinions on here. Post something to let me know what you think. I may go the other way, and just get a pure sacd cd player because I already have a very good bluray player.
