I don't think I'm missing anything. I have no desire for metadata. That's why I ripped all my CDs to WAV files. However, the blue button on my Oppo remote control is the random play button. My Oppo displays album covers on my HDTV. I guess it goes out over the internet and brings up album covers and certain limited metadata. I create playlists using my Oppo remote control all the time, but you're right about not doing them on the fly. You're also right about its inability to select genres so I group my music on high capacity USB flash drives the way I want to listen to it. If it brings up the album cover, it also usually brings up the release year.

At any rate, I am perfectly happy with my Oppo BDP-105D, which I use more often for streaming Netflix and watching DVDs than for listening to music. I use my TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder for listening to music as often as I use it for recording because I like the sound of its BurrBrown DACs better than the Oppo's Sabre³² DACs. It plays DSD(128) directly from USB flash drives, too. Of course, it also plays PCM and DSD(64), but I now do all my vinyl recording in DSD(128).

I prefer my Oppo. If I preferred a different component, I'd buy it.

Thanks,
John Elison
