| Oppo BDP-105D and Amazon Music? I inherited the unit. The previous owner passed away.No need to manage expectations, it is a better CD player than anything I've owned other that an Arcam (that no longer works) and the Oppo, to me, sounds just as good if not better. | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? I have been through the various menus and I think I made the appropriate changes but are there specific ones or typical ones that you suggest? | |
| Filling a Room with Music Thanks guys. I had heard of Ohm Walsh but did not know what they were. Interesting but I've already got the speakers.I've seen speakers hanging from the ceiling in small venues. Of course my wife would nix that idea. She barely consented to let me... | |
| What songs/albums/artists actually sound worse when played through audiophile systems? I also think it is an under considered factor. As far as I am concerned (with my very limited experience) DR is the most important initial consideration for source quality. A hi-res file of a highly compressed recording is just hi -res noise to my... | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: @barts said: " You get rid of the Craftsman tape measure and replace it a Bosch Laser measure because the former is just not "accurate enough". Oh yes!Doh! I did that the day I got my speakers.I guess I'm a latent audiophile...........not that th... | |
| Radio playing....but no tuner? It happened again yesterday on my main system. No tuner included but recently added an Oppo Blu Ray/ CD player. Not a local station either (we only have one). Lasted for a few seconds while I was selecting an album on my Mac music server. Hasn't h... | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: Of all the things listed above I have/do about 2 or 3 of them.How many does it take to make you an audiophile?Anyway, I've never considered myself an audiophile.I also do not think a narrow definition of audiophile works as it is often relative. I... | |
| What songs/albums/artists actually sound worse when played through audiophile systems? I think it sounds harsh simply because the range of volumes (?) is compressed so you get a narrower range of variation between soft and loud. This removes nuance, for lack of a better term....I’m not an expert.It is also important to note the DR c... | |
| Flexible/Compliant Speaker Cables I'll look into those. I will have to do this without audition but that is okay since this system is not my primary and is mostly for casual listening. In fact, most of it will be Amazon Music via Sonos Connect. So quality is important in this appl... | |
| Flexible/Compliant Speaker Cables Thanks guys. The cables don't have to be exactly on par with the Tranpsarents but it would be nice if they were close.I've done some looking but find it all confusing. Not sure how to compare other than price. | |
| Aerial Acoustic 5Ts vs Cheap Towers @jl35 I’m sure that is true. And while I’d love to build the system at the cabin up to meet the quality of the 5T it really does not make sense to spend that sort of money. I do very little serious listening at the cabin so even if the funds were ... | |
| What songs/albums/artists actually sound worse when played through audiophile systems? To my ears, anything with compressed DR sounds bad on a hi-fi system.In the car it makes no difference. With ear buds it makes no difference. On my system at home ear fatigue comes quickly on highly compressed albums. Alabama Shakes (who I really ... | |
| What/who do you listen to that you feel is a bit of an unknown? The Struts. Both albums.JD McPherson. All three albums. | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? Update: Using universal remote to run the Oppo and it works fine.Got my music server plugged into the Oppo and I believe its DAC sounds superior to the Schiit.Will probably get a long ethernet cable and hardwire it into Oppo from my router to test... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Saint Saens Organ Symphony |
