Congratulations on the Danafrips and the new loudspeaker. What is your new loudspeaker? Just curious.

Loudspeakers are a personal choice. So it's best not to rely on others experience. This is what I learned in the past 2 years looking for loudspeakers. Nevertheless, I have listened to all the loudspeakers you mention in the past several months.Al... 
Oppo UDP - 205
@gdhal ,I certainly understand your pain. Fortunately the issue was minor and Oppo acknowledged that they would be coming up with the fix shortly.I also let them know about the  "Reset Factory Defaults" option not being available under "Devise Se... 
Oppo UDP - 205
@boisehomes ,Good to know that it was a good upgrade for you. I understand that the 205 is awesome on SACDs without any mod. The mod "might" change the CD sound, but not sure on SACD. Besides spending money on the upgrades, you will also not get t... 
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.

@boisehomes,I thought with a firmware update, DSD is possible with 105. But I may be wrong. You can use the 105 to stream DSD to a DAC with HDMI, or create DSD files using 105. You really have lots of options. I am loving my 205, but my future upg... 
Oppo UDP - 205
@randy-11,Thanks. I think a loudspeaker makes the most difference, if a upgrade is in order. I have read about MQA and have not heard it. So cannot comment on it. But the reason I specify was to make folks know that with the Beta Firmware, this is...

And with the Beta Firmware, it can also do MQA. 
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...
