Currently looking to replace my Sony SCD-1, oh no! Been all over the internet looking at possible choices. I came up with the well reviewed Oppo 105 at the very attractive price point of $1200. I'm planning to use my new player strictly in a main 2ch stereo system, at least for the foreseeable future, unless one day I plan to combine HT with my 2CH audio system,(did I actually as that?)LOL! Looked at stuff that scores better in reviewer's eyes, but costs way much more. Frankly, as I haven't been up on digital for the last 14yrs(thank you SCD-1), I am pretty much a newbie once again. Any advise would be appreciated. Obviously, I'm looking for Red book and SACD but do have a couple HDCDs too that is nice to have though not a make or break. Price points I'd like to stay in is under the 5K range(been there done that) and really favor the 2K line actually. With the way digital is going with hi-rez downloads and streaming, etc, I just don't think going way out on the disc player price scale makes any sense, at least for me. So please weigh in ladies & gentlemen, so much out there is never covered by mainstream media, so I need idea. Thanks. |
