| 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... | |
| 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. |
