Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Hi Schubert, Very good question, I'm having a hard time realizing this, too. Up until inserting the Oppo, I thought I had stumbled upon an ideal music solution with the combination of a very neutral and revealing class D power amp paired with the ... 
Some amplifier questions
Wemfan, I just read the Stereophile review on the KEF LS50 speakers that Dbphd recommended. These look like something you should consider, very good review. You would need a pair of stands with these($100-150) and would probably need a new or used...

Wemfan, You may want to avoid Audiophile Liquidators. I did some research and some have had less than pleasant experiences with them. Nobody's claiming fraud or loss of money but are mainly claiming poor customer service. Paying with a credit card... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Avgoround, Did you ever decide to do the right thing and buy an Oppo? I'm thinking you probably did since you have not posted anything to this thread since 4/30/2013. I'm thinking you're too busy just enjoying the hell out of your new Oppo and lov... 
Oppo 105 in place of pre/pro
Saki, I just bought an Oppo 105 and can tell you for certain you can use the unit as a processor and a limited input preamp. Right now, I have the 105's 'Dedicated Stereo' xlr outputs connected directly to my main amp's xlr inputs. I also have the... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Schubert, Yes, my friend has a Cambridge universal and it's very obvious comparing the back panel of this to the Oppo 105 that they're almost identical. The front panels are not even close to identical but both look very nice and perform great. I...

Wemfan, Seditious3 has a very good idea that I would also recommend, you don't need to buy an A/V receiver. The BDp-103 and 105 Oppos can be used as a limited input preamp, surround processor and bluray,CD, SACD, DVD-A player and even a digital mu... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Avgoround,I wrote this to you back in April: "I have no affiliation with OPPO. I do want to congratulate you, though, on coming to your senses and deciding in such a rational manner to gain the numerous inherent benefits obtained by purchasing an ... 
Some amplifier questions
Wemfan, Seditious's suggestion of just using the Oppo without a receiver is a very good one. Here's how it would work:The Oppo has separate analog outputs for up to a 7.1 surround system: front L + R, Center, Side surround L + R,Rear surround L + ... 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Bill, Thanks, I'm very pleased with my computer audio system thus far. It seems like high quality downloads are somewhat of a mixed bag. Purchasing 24/96 files of an album from the major sites appears to be about the cost of good SACDs which is ab... 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Willie, I'm continuing to learn about JRMC by using it and through various forums. The good news is that my computer audio system is now complete. I now have JRiver as the DMC (Digital Media Controller)via my laptop that is used to select tracks o... 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Hi Steve/Willie, This whole folder and file structure protocol is somewhat confusing to me. I've read that it's important to have a good folder and file structure setup to avoid problems down the road when downloading. I wasn't planning on using i... 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Hi Bill, You were right, it's just an awkward 2-step process in which you pay 1st and download after. I'm still in the process of setting up JRMC with my new Synology NAS and the backup Seagate hd. I probably jumped the gun downloading new music b... 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Steve Willie, I gotcha on the memory. Good news- thanks. Bill, I took your advice and downloaded my first file from Sound Liaison: Carmen Gomes "Studio Showcase Series No. 1". After my payment was processed, I thought the download to JRMC/NAS woul...
