| NEW Discovery: Getting the Oppo DSD Output to a Dac. Ozzy, Sorry, I mistyped in my last post. What I meant was that the newer Oppo 105D will accept native DSD (.dsf & .dff) files from a computer or streamer via the USB INPUT on the back. If you are playing SACD discs on your Oppo 95, I believe a... | |
| NEW Discovery: Getting the Oppo DSD Output to a Dac. Ozzy, the Oppo 105D outputs true native DSD via its USB (the one on the back, not the spare USB inputs on the front). Regular 105 and other models don't do this (unless I missed a recent change within last 6 months). Your comments tell us that you... | |

| Modwright Oppo 95 or 105 105D besides all the video upgrade stuff plays DSD via USB. Standard 105 & 95 don't. If DSD matters to you...105D. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Best speakers for $3000 The Zu line IMHO has a very distinct house sound that is more system dependent (or perhaps room dependent?) than most others. I've heard them sound great & terrible and everything in between. The Zu guys seem so cool and there funky colorful d... | |

| Mac Music Software Frustration Rebbi,I think I opened iTunes and scrolled albums looking for any with .flac etc. and deleted them there, answering "yes" when asked if I want to delete the files as well as removing them from the iTunes library. Some were missed and whenever I ge... | |
