KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others
I have the ProAc D48R on order. I liked the ProAc sound when I auditioned various loudspeakers. The Spendors D7/D9s are also beautiful sounding loudspeakers. I liked the KEF Ref 3 at AXPONA 2015, but was not moved by the sound. I believe it was ve...

Oppo UDP - 205
@boisehomes,Don't mean to confuse you. But as I listened to music tonight, I am amazed by the DEFINITION and BASS that the 205 puts out. The bass output is so much that I am a bit worried how the new loudspeakers (on order) would behave in my room...

@boisehomes ,Please check the Bryston thread at audiocircles.com. There are folks who have connected the 105 to the BDA-3 DAC. The folks from Bryston are active on that thread and can answer any questions you have. 
Oppo UDP - 205

Oppo UDP - 205

wet blankets, CSNY and what a difference a DAC makes
Jim,One thing I will say from experience - DON'T CARE WHAT OTHERS SAY.Your experience is what it matters. I had similar experience very recently when auditioning different loudspeakers. One of the loudspeakers that folks generally say as sounding ... 
New CDP or standalone DAC...?
@tomcarr,I got the Oppo UDP-205 last month and really like what I am hearing. Is it the ultimate for CD playback? Nope. I am sure an outboard DAC or a stand-alone CDP can do better. But the idea is to get upgraded sound compared to my previous pla...

Congratulations on the new acquisition. Yes, I feel the same about the discs, compared to computer audio. Have fun, REDISCOVERING all your CD/SACDs. 
Clear Day cables vs. Morrow Audio Cables
@baxsc01,It is perfectly alright that you did not hear any difference. So what? Both the cables must have the same characteristics. I say, sell the higher priced one and buy more music.
