| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? @oside, that is all good information.I am disappointed that it will not stream Amazon Music as that is my service of choice.That narrows its desired capabilities for me down to two (DAC + CD).I mostly stream to find/research music rather than seri... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? Sorry if I was confusing but I have never been concerned with there being a downside. My primary concern was whether the Oppo would be as good a CD player as its value could buy in a dedicated CD player. In other words, if it is worth $600 would I... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? Another question. Can this unit be used as a streamer? Can it use my home wireless signal (or hardwired to the the router) to play Amazon Music, Tidal, etc. I was assuming it could but not sure. | |
| Anyone Remember This One? Sounds like the T-Bones were the West Coast version of The Swampers at Muscle Shoals. | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? There is one on eBay with bids up to $800. In any case, I have no idea what they are worth, only what I see them for sale for.However, the less it is worth the more likely I will hold onto it since that would mean that much less of a CD player I c... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @mdemaio Thank you for your response. And sure, seeing what comes naturally and what hooks you is great. As you say....."there is no end to what you can find" but that very reason can make it a challenge to dive into any genre unguided. The signal... | |

| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @oregonpapa I have to say I have a hard time hearing anyone other than Sam Cooke doing that song. I think Cooke had one of the best voices ever and I think that song is one of his best.A completely different thought- where in the world of jazz mus... | |
| Religious music for less than devout @falconquest : "I cannot possibly go through my day and understand what actions I take may offend one religious believer or another"Sure, tact, decorum and manners require an effort. And just because there are easily offended people out there doe... | |
| Religious music for less than devout @falconquest That particular movie, at least when it came out, was very offensive to Christians. It has pretty much faded from the Christian and public consciousness. As a Monty Python fan and a Christian, I found that the movie was irreverent an... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? @tweak1 : "It also has a built in volume control. Outputs straight into your amp"I have a nice AR tube preamp. Is there any reason to bypass it with the Oppo? | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? I've been doing some reading about this unit. From what I can tell its DAC is quite good and can be used independently of the transport. That is definitely appealing to me since my current DAC is a Schiit Modi 2 which is okay but probably not stel... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? Thanks guys. That helps.George | |
| Religious music for less than devout @jndean I like the ambiguity of the line. Not sure if was intentional or not but gives it an edge. Does he mean he is a Christian as of tonight, as in I got religion and it stuck.......or is it that he is a Christian just for tonight and tomorrow ... | |
