| Why is Oppo stopping products. @nonoise i Second the thanks for that article.I bought a 203 the day Oppo made their announcement and moved my 105 from my two channel system to my HT, where it replaced multiple machines. | |
| Do network streamers of different brands respond to a proprietary App? I I don’t know the answer, having no experience with the Naim app, but I will be very surprised if they all work. It sounds like you are after a Sonus or Bluesound type of whole house system. | |
| Streaming Yes | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? I’m with the keeptheCDplayerand buyaDAC crowd. Just make sure that your current player has digital outs.Then if you do wish to start burning your CDs to a HD, you can use the DAC for that as well | |
| Converting cd's to high resolution audio OPfirst of all, very few CDs “degrade”. I still have mine from the early 80s and they play just fine. I have ripped several hundred CDs to the Vault2 and to a hard drive. Nothing has broke.I think that you have read too much Audiophile nonsense. | |
| High quality portable server/player/dac for car I agree with freedliver. Why not try using a portable like Astell And Kern and controlling from the player interface and skipping the Beemer control mechanism? | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming I I am not sure what the OP problem is here. He sounds happy with Tidal and his family apparently is with the Vault 2.. At this point I would be working on other issues, such as worrying if Meaghan Markle’s shoes are going to match her handbag a... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. Another question is portability. Some DACs can be used will cell phones and other potable devices and then plug into a system at home. Is that a requirement? | |
| New to DAC, need advice. I may have missed it up thread, OP, but what is your budget? Also, do you need a CDP? Many players have Digital inputs so that their DACs can be used by other digital sources | |
| Oppo Ceasing production I ordered a 203 yesterday. I use a 105 as a Digital transport into a Bryston DAC3 in my two channel system. The Oppo will output DSD from SACD into the Bryston over HDMI. I have two HT systems in my house and had been toying with the idea of mo... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Any thoughts that the Sony Universal Player cut into their disc player market? | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) I would get the Oppo 205 for your SACDs. It will also output DSD over HDMI. It will be an upgrade over your current system for SACD replay and then when your budget allows it can be a transport for a DAC that will accept DSD over HDMI, such as t... | |
| Best Server Software Th thanks for the interest. While the BS OS has been buggy, my beef goes beyond that, into the basic way that it organizes (or not) discs. | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? I tried Tidal, but I listen to a lot of Classical and find it’s interface unusable for that genre. Apple has an easier interface than Spotify, the other service that I have tried, but they both deep catalogs. I’m waiting for Quobuz. I also tr... | |
| Why did it take so long Digital digital does indeed sound better now than at it’s inception but should that be such a surprise? LP playback improved, and continues to improve, throughout it’s lifetime |
