| 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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wow, this thread has really seen some activities for the past couple of days. I missed some "action" here. But it was an interesting read with @shardone being called a troll and @grannyring and @teajay not agreeing, while the DI supporters calling... | |
| I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61 My suspicion is that the Elac AF-61 were the best loudspeakers in their price range or even slightly beyondNot sure about that. Some show reports say that the Tektons were also very good loudspeakers and are priced much less. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Update from my side - I am going with a 12k loudspeaker with the Oppo UDP-205. This should make a bigger sound upgrade than a $5k loudspeaker and $4-5k SACD player. | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? Slightly higher than your price point, but I recently heard the Dynaudio Special Forty and it sounded amazing. The imaging and musicality, both were awesome. It was in a fairly big demo room at the dealer. Another one close to your budget that baf... | |
| Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? Any new SACD player launches?What about the Tekton room? I understand that they did have a room at the show.Any other interesting products? | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Oh come on man. Stereophile are pros. They have a separate photographer to take pics of their equipment. This (seems) like a regular guys like us. I love audio first and photography next. Can't go that wrong :-) | |
| Oppo UDP-203 Player Look like Europe and Asia might have Special Editions targeted for audiophiles:http://www.avbuzz.com/audio-video/201709/seUse Google Translate. Some links on their Hong Kong facebook page too:https://www.facebook.com/oppodigital.hk/ | |

| what speakers to buy Sorry but I think some push back against Tekton is sadly becoming necessary on Audiogon - not because Tekton isn’t a great speaker but because it isn’t the the ONLY great speaker. I suspect I am not the only one tired of this.... @shadorne , ... |
