| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player I don’t regard my Oppo 105 as bright. I laughed at the the first comment about this. It is highly resolving, so if you have bright sounding music, that’s what you will hear. I had the Rega Apollo, many years ago. It was murder trying to get it... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Michael has also contacted me tonight about my unanswered query of upgrading M1 to M2. I appreciate his response and I really appreciate the efforts of @hgeifman | |
| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player I see you don’t mention Oppo, which is puzzling as their Universal Players are generally considered great values and are market leaders. At any rate I have the 105 which plays just about everything well. Oppo’s can be programmed to output DSD fr... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn I have the First gen Manhatten and e mailed them about convertingto Gen II a few weeks ago. No response whatsoever | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? I agree with the OP. Any computer can do what a streamer does.The advantages of streamers are basically 3 fold. First they eliminate the noise that a computer, which has many functions to do besides transmitting musical data to a DAC, will intro... | |
| Bluray Hi Rez audio I essentially use my Oppo I use my Oppo 105 as a transport. High Res and everything else except for SACD goes either Optical or SPDIF. SACD have DSD outputted over HDMI to my Bryston DAC 3, | |
| Replacement CD Player? I second the Oppo 205 recommendation. @willemj makes a great point in that you can still use the digital inputs on Meridian. So if you find the Oppo somewhat disappointing just use it as a transport.However you will gain all the flexibility tha... | |
| Should I PURCHASE AN EXTERNAL DAC @don_1 There is a Home Theater Forum in the Agon Forums. Have you posted there? I have both two channel system and 2 HT systems in my house.The two channel system is my "high end" setup and the two HT systems are mid fi. Both have 10 year old ... | |
| Should I PURCHASE AN EXTERNAL DAC @don_1 I own the Oppo 105, not the 205, but I think they are similar in that they use the same DAC chips in their digital and analog stages. I use the 105 in a two channel system. SACD is played through the analog outputs. I also have the 105 c... | |
| CD player for heavy metal up to $400 If all the OP listens to is heavy metal, a $29.00 Bluetooth ought to dothe trick, and he can use the savings for hearing aids | |
| Should I PURCHASE AN EXTERNAL DAC I have your Pioneer Player. I used to use it in a two channel system but it’s been in a multichannel system now for years. I now use an Oppo 105 in the two channel systemI also have a lot of SACDs. In your case I would Second the recommendations... | |
| Hegel Mohican vs. Bryston BCD-3 @twoleftears no experience with the Mohican.I do have the Bryston DAC-3 which I have read sounds quite a bit like the Bryston CDP. It is a middle of the auditorium type sound, detailed without being overly clinical. Decent soundstage depth and w... | |
| Hegel Mohican vs. Bryston BCD-3 There are billions of CDs in circulation and people are still going to be playing them. I do think it’s true that the younger generations are much less interested in CD replay than people in my demographic are (60 in a few weeks). My adult child... | |
| Internet radio, streaming, and CD player. Can’t play CDs from Bluesound although they can be ripped for playback | |
| DACs for Portable Listening I’ve read several of the reviews of the Dragonfly but don’t recall if there were comparisons to the Oppo. I will also check out the Mojo |
