In Reply to: RE: Oh no, I need a new player! posted by Dave Billinge on March 04, 2014 at 00:48:54
I just ordered an Oppo BDP-105D. Presently, I am using Foobar2000 streaming software on a computer music server into an April Music Eximus DP1 DAC. However, when I get the Oppo BDP-105D, I won't need the music server because I intend plug my USB hard drive directly into the BDP-105D and get rid of my computer music server and my Eximus DP1 DAC.
I'll let you know how I like it when I get it setup. I imagine it will be about a week from now since I just ordered it from Oppo today. Below is a picture of my present setup with my HAL MS-1 music server.
Best regards,
John Elison

Ditching the, computer is going to be the trend going forward. Plugging a drive into a high quality file player is going to be king. Using a Mac or Windows machine or one of these stripped Frankenstein computers and playback software and a USB DAC is ever so clunky.File players and alternatively Ethernet are going to rule the roost.

Agreed - the ease with which the Oppo reads music from the USB i/p is impressive. Connecting to the PC, whilst possible, is remarkably difficult. A NAS box is the way forward.

The storage advantages and ease of portability of the USB have mind boggling possibilities to the world of audio/video reproduction so it seems, assuming hi rez files are able to be read correctly.
Yeah, it looks like examples of the Oppo 105 types w/ USB connectivity is the way to go.
Nice feedback to all that contributed.
Thanks everyone,
Bill
