In Reply to: RE: What a big disappointment; NAD M51 with OPPO 105d (long) posted by John Elison on October 16, 2016 at 23:12:06
My Oppo HA-1 DAC/Headphone Amp sounded a little lean or on the cool side compared to my other DACs including the PS Audio NuWave DSD, Mytek Stereo192-DSD, and the Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. This was regardless of what format I fed it and I primarily listen to pretty standard stuff like PCM 16/44.1 from CDs or higher resolution PCM 24/96 downloads.
I'm wondering if the Oppo BD players sounds a little lean and/or on the cool side rather than more full-bodied, robust, and warmer. The only Oppo product that I owned was the HA-1.

My Oppo BDP-105D does not sound lean or cool at all. It is rather warm sounding and makes a lot of CDs sound better than usual. I got the feeling it might have been "voiced" to sound like a tube component. The problem I have is that it doesn't sound accurate when I play my digital recordings of vinyl. I was used to them sounding just like the turntable, but they just don't sound right on the BDP-105D. I much prefer playing my vinyl recordings in my TASCAM DA-3000, which is very accurate and transparent. The DA-3000 also has somewhat tighter, deeper bass.
Best regards,

Thanks John for describing the sound of your BDP-105D. I was curious to know if it sounded anything like the HA-1 that owned and apparently it doesn't, which is good if I ever get one of their blu-ray disc players.
Oppo is coming out with a new Blu-Ray disc player in late 2016. I guess it must be coming real late in 2016. ;-)
