Oppo BP 103 + 105 Where Are the Accolades?

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I have an old Oppo 980 that served me well enough to occasionally play SACDs, HDCDs and DVD-As in my 2 channel system, but it finally died. Oppo would fix it for $35 plus shipping but their new gear was just too enticing.

I have had my heart set on the 105 but wasn't convinced by any audio only reviews to make a $1200 purchase, especially just to play hi-rez discs

Recently, I got a great deal on a 103 which has blown me away. even on red book it is unbelievably resolving, though on some cds a touch edgy, but on hi-rez- oh my

I read where some people bashed the hybrid SACD offerings, but am very pleased with how much better they sound than my redbook counterparts, including the Norah Jones hybrid SACD, which got hammered pretty good. Could be something else making it sound unsatisfactory.

I just upgraded my Clear Day shotgun pure silver cables to 2 pair of WireWorld Eclipse 7 @ $500/8ft pair. Just breaking them in now, but they are much richer and fuller in my solid state system than the Clear Day pure silver shotguns I had been using

I had been trying to sell my W4S MC 250/500 but no mas

The WWs are definitely worth their price

The man I purchased the 103 from wants it back in a few months (he needed the money to buy a motorcycle) so he gets first dibs, then I will get the 105D, which has dif balanced outs and volume control, though that won't work here as I use the Paraound P5 preamp bass management circuit to dial in the woofers

So my Pioneer is now out of the system

Glad I took the plunge
