| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. @dweller. No I hadn’t checked any other than linear phase fast. Had you checked linear phase fast? I may experiment next week. Very pleased at the moment. | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. The sound has improved. Significantly. Don’t know how much the filter choice has made;but, listening to a Nat King Cole album again the processing of the recording is readily apparent; not the case on listening a few days ago. I think this album i... | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. @ricevs. Thank you. I will be looking into this possibility. Just to confirm, you use the Oppomod lps, but improved by you, to replace the smps for the digital side, as part of your upgrade? | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. FWIW, I used music with Julian Bream playing a 12 string Spanish guitar. Complex dynamic passages were rendered more naturally; faster, more concisely and powerfully. Not simply more clearly. More lively! I was surprised. | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. @audioengr . Your knowledge and ideas are appreciated. Any ideas on Oppo default to min phase fast? | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. After experimentation I I have changed to “linear phase fast” from the default minimum phase fast. Better life and dynamics. More natural vocals. Although I appreciate the improvement through my Spectral electronics,and high level a/c isolation I ... | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. 4 days of play later and the sound has improved considerably. Harshness I noticed initially has gone and the sound has more weight, much more full and natural. I will be checking the linear fast phase setting in a few days. Any others have experie... | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply Thanks geoffkait. I would use sorbothane to isolate the vibration and a mu metal wrap to contain the magnetic field. | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply For Ivan and nonoise - were you using any AC isolation / conditioning prior to and with your 205? I’m using Equitech, Sound Application and mit Oracle p/c’s. | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. Great to hear about video improvements. Such a useful unit. But I’m not surprised there’s no improvement from 2 rounds of processing. I’m running my Oppo into my Spectral preamp using Mit 350EVO Shotgun i/c’s ( equivalent to basic Oracle i/c’s) wh... | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply Thanks auxinput. What’s the difference between discrete vs monolithic regulators as it relates to sound quality? | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? Just came across this thread. I have just acquired slabs of high quality marble and granite flooring for the new shelving unit I’m having built. 9/16th’s inch thick and 24x24 inches. High traffic commercial quality for class 1 buildings. My experi... | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply Very interesting tweak. I’m actually thinking along those lines. My AC power conditioning allows the lower noise floor of the 205 to be fully revealed; also the fact that finer detail can be much better. I’m thinking perhaps of a Berkely Alpha 2. ... | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. Thanks dweller. Good idea. Any thoughts on upgrading the smps? | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. Thanks Steve. Is there another connection than the coax out. I’ve never considered, nor had the least interest in a separate dac before now. |
