| USB DAC Dumb Unless there is such a thing as a coax or optical to USB adapter, you won't be able to. Have you looked for that? | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players tonykayI have a Sony BDP that seems to require a firmware update every time I use it. Frequently it won't play Blu Rays unless the update is done.It's unbelievably frustrating (it's in a second system in a room we keep woprkout equipment in) and ... | |
| Hd-dvd Does Toshiba make Blu Ray Players? If they do they may have added HD-DVD Functionality | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? I have the 105, and It's great, and I second the others who say buy it and call it a day. However, playing Devil Advocate, why do you need a Universal Player? Will there be many SACDs, Blue Rays, and possibly DVD-As being played? If not,perhaps... | |
| Which CD\SACD? Have you tried the Oppo 105. | |
| When I have seen people listing their systems lately I'm so tired of reading "SACD is dead". I've got over 100 of them and Arkivmusik lists over 2500 titles for sale and dozens of new ones every week. Perhaps it's just we Classical Music lovers and the Japanese market but that appears to be enough... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? One of the recordings that bothers me the most with glare is an early 80s CD transfer of and Ormandy/Philadelphia recording of Sibelius Second Symphony (early 60s recording). Yesterday I was playing the same recording from a Japanese Ormandy col... | |
| Can a apple airport express be part of a audiophile system? I tried AE but now I use Bluesound for the whole home audio thing. Bluesound wipes the floor sonically with AE--it's not even a fair fight-and while it is far from perfect, I prefer the Bluesound appto i tunes for managing the collection. I also... | |
| Blue Ray Audio? I own several Blu Ray audio discs and over 100 SACDs and some DVD-A. Principal player is the Oppo-105 I wouldn't be dogmatic. Like anything else, it depends on the engineering of the given recording. Most of my SACDs are wonderful. Some of t... | |
| Marantz I had a Marantz 803 SACD/CD but sold it off and went with the Oppo 105. The Marantz was nice but it rolls off the top end. | |

| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players An interesting thread. I have an Oppo 105 in my two channel system that I don't use for video at all. I play many SACDS, a few DCD-A and Blu Ray Audio and DTS Audiosand some High Res downloads but primarily it's Red Book CD. It's a highly res... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? Hey browns fan I had read your thread about the Sony before I posted my query and was intrigued. That was one reason that I referenced the Sony, because it up samples all recordings to DSD. I already own the Blue Sound so I am not interested in an... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? If you are still playing the original file types, and the same dac, then how do you know it's the cables? I haven't found that cables and room treatments make the slightest bit of difference for this issue. My SACDs sound great but some--not all... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? I'll second that. I have a Bluesound Vault 2 and Node for downstairs. I happen to have my computer next to it so that I can pull in files from a previous iTunes collection via the Vault but I don't need the computer to run the Vault. In fact, I... |
