| Proac D48R Folks,The decision has been made. My ProAc D48R in Ebony are on order. Should get them by end of November or start of December. | |
| Alta Audio speakers--anyone heard them? I would also stand by a product if I like one. And I have done that many times, in these forums. Funny part is, when I first saw that advertisement, I actually thought it was John Atkinson :-). I have read a few reviews about Alta Audio, and they ... | |
| GoldenEar vs Dynaudio vs Nola vs ProAc vs Everything else. @hifiman5 ,Thanks for pointing that out. I somehow overlooked that like and focused on the space dimensions. | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @gdhal,Agreed, that the Oppo UDP-205 is really really good. For me, I can hear it extend the low end and upper end of the sound spectrum, compared to my older players. The bass is also fleshed out and not muddled. I only have about 100 hours on it... | |
| Alta Audio speakers--anyone heard them? @jonaiken,Aren't you the same person who features in Alta Audio advertisements in Stereophile? BTW, nice system. | |
| GoldenEar vs Dynaudio vs Nola vs ProAc vs Everything else. @soix,I am trying to understand, why would you term 16X23 as "space restrictions". That, IMHO, is a nice big room. | |
| SACD vs. Blu-Ray for audio quality/sonics The new Oppo UDP-205 does not require a TV at all. Download the app on your Android/Apple phone, and you are all set to play, configure, etc. You can even set the filters, audio settings etc, without the TV.OP,I feel, it all depends on the recordi... | |
| Floyd-The Wall...which one? Wish they came out with the SACD that was rumored years back. | |
| Oppo 105 vs 205 +1 to what @gdhal said.I recently purchased the UDP-205 and love it.This review should certainly help you:https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/10/22/oppo-udp-205-4k-ultra-hd-audiophile-blu-ray-player-audio-review... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Forgot to mention - the Android app is a pleasure to use. No need to TV for audio playback. I tried USB stick with FLAC, MP3, DSF, etc formats and it works like a charm. Can even change the filter options from this app. I really like the convenien... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 I got my UDP-205 today. This is really a substantial unit. It is heavier than my previous Marantz A-8260. I like it from the get go. Contrary to what I have read, this is NOT a "bright sounding" player at all. If anything, I find it has lots of de... | |
| HDMI cable for I2S @auxinput,Thank You for explaining. Does it mean that I can use the HDMI input from a Oppo UDP-205 and send the DSD output to PA Audio's DirectStream DAC? | |
| HDMI cable for I2S I was under the impression that HDMI and I2S are not compatible. But I am reading here that you can get a generic HDMI and use it as I2S cable. Is that right? | |
| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD Well, this is the other way, as you state.Every time I hear that a digital player sounds as good as analog. Why would someone want their digital player to sound like analog? I have heard analog enough times at demos and dealers. But they are 2 dif... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? My b.s. detector is always turned on when I read glowing review after glowing review of a product like the Oppo. How can something that is relatively inexpensive do everything so well, to the level of a true high end disc player, like the Marant... |
