| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) auinput;I wondering if you (or anyone else) has experience with Classe CP-50 or CP-65 preamps? I see some input here on Audiogon and it is favorable but I'm wondering if the CP-65 is $700 - $800 better than the CP-50? Not exactly new items but the... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) auxinput - Good info. I did some research on the Rotels before I bought the Emotiva and didn't really like what I heard. I thought it was too sterile or bright. I do like the idea of a Marantz and appreciate their sound. (mostly)There is an "Audio... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) leotis, I was looking for a simple (& not too expensive) answer to my situation. You are correct that all links are crucial and the OPPO alone is not going to solve my issue. Too bad for me! Not sure how I am going to proceed at this point, ma... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Yes "aux" that's a nice one. But I don't think I could go with that specific copy as there is some damage. Not at that price. It seems not to be a readily available item as I can't find one anywhere else right now. Will have to keep my eyes open! | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) This one is in Canada, but I have had excellent results with the Krell KAV-280p:Too bad about the remote. I see High Performance Stereo has two of these available with remote for $1450.00. Krell is generally great stuff from what I've always read... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Yea lance, I've heard that from other people too. Makes sense, thanks. | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) The turntable was Music Hall MMF 5.3 with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. As I said, I did send it back. | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) I wanted to say that the pre-amp I have is the Emotiva XSP-1 and Amp the newest Gen 3 (2 channel). So if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. I think that Erik makes a good point insofar as 3 sources not getting me to where I want to be and it... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Thanks for the comments, everybody. They all make sense. I have two Marantz pieces; UD 7007 which I am returning now as I was not aware I could not play DSD via thumb drive and NA 8005 which does accept DSD via thumb drive. (the price of these two... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) No problem bcgator. I understood where you were coming from with the quip about the check & all. And the soul sucking went right off my back! ;-) | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Perhaps I should wait until evening to post when the grown ups are on line. | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Ha, ha, ha. Tough crowd. | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) The Emotiva amp I have is the newest Gen 3. "Gutless?" "Soul Sucking?" I guess I can see how you might say that on some level, but what are you comparing it to? Granted, it's not an Esoteric or the like! The Mayback looks interesting and I was not... | |
| Any actual use of Pono Player through balanced connection into home stereo? Thanks Eric. No doubt Pono will be producing more "players" in the future that offer different music opportunities. I hope it is soon! | |
| Any actual use of Pono Player through balanced connection into home stereo? Thanks Eric. I'm still mulling it over. For the $399.00 price of admission what's really to loose? Guess I could always send it back if it didn't work out. I don't own a SACD player and even though that medium is quite limited I've been contemplat... |
