| Oppo UDP - 205 From whatever feedback is provided in this thread and another one on the Oppo, I am coming to the conclusion that, while the Oppo is no giant killer, it's sound quality comes close to 80% of what a high end dedicated SACD player can do. Which is n... | |
| Bluetooth streaming @shadorne,Completely agree with you on bluetooth being lossy and compressed. But you shoud try that with a good Bluetooth DAC and tablet that are both aptX compliant. You will be surprised. | |
| Bluetooth streaming I have been absolutely delighted and happy with the Auris bluMe Bluetooth DAC. It is a audiophile grade DAC with AKM chip inside. I use Android phone and tablet to stream my music. Highly recommended. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Ozzy,Thanks for your impression on the update! | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 @ozzy,Would like to hear to hear about 2-channel audio, comparing the Oppo to the Bryston/PS Audio. Just curious about that mod. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 @csontos ,Are you talking about the Acoustat Monitor or Oppo? | |
| Auris BluMe with external DAC - Teac UD-501 Jimspov,Have you contacted Auris Support? They might be able to help you. | |

| Oppo UDP - 205 Ozzy,Please let us know how the mod made a difference sound-wise. | |

| Current speaker threads are boring @inna You should try the Spendor D7 and the ProAc D30RS or the D48. Superb sounding loudspeakers. Not boring at all. I was also surprised by the Paradigm Persona 3F. But these have too much bling factor for me. | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric During the visits to the 5-6 dealers, I did not find a single system using either Esoteric or Marantz or Ayre SACD players. Mostly it was CD players (MBL, Simaudio, Rega) or streamer/DACs (Naim, McIntosh, etc). I have not yet made up my mind on th... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers Folks, I visited about 5 dealers yesterday to audition different loudspeakers. One thing I realized that, loudspeakers are simply user preferences. No loudspeaker is great and no loudspeaker is bad. How can a brand X, which so may people love, be ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Thanks guys. I plan to visit about 5-6 shops today and see how I go about choosing a loudspeaker and what budget it leaves me for the digital player. With all the feedback that was provided, there is not a 0.0001% doubt in my mind that the Oppo ca... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Thanks folks for your inputs. I am wondering if I should spend the big dollars on a unit like the Esoteric or get the Oppo for now and then spend on a outboard DAC like the Bryston or the Holo, later next year. I plan to upgrade the loudspeakers s... |
