Why not simply get another one in for a side by side evaluation? If it, too, sounds as you describe, then you simply do not like the Oppo sound. BFD. However, if it sounds markedly better, you then know that your original unit was faulty.
Even Oppo, with their SOTA engineering and production facilities, make a bad unit once in a while...

I'd love to compare mine to another, but I don't think it's possible without actually buying another. Mine might be improving, too. I listened last night through its unbalanced analog outputs and it seemed to sound better than I remembered. It certainly is a nice Blu-Ray/DVD/Netflix player for video, though.
Best regards

Hi john,Could I suggest you call the boys, i.e., customer service at Oppo and describe what you are hearing so they might have an idea if your unit is either defective or just not to your liking?
In any event, they might offer to swap out a unit, gratis, and have you return the old back just for evaluation.
I have found them extremely helpful and accommodating when I had to call them for a few suggestions re my player.
Regards,
Bill

I also found this particular review to be spot on, as I hear it in my system as well.

Hi, I am usually lurking over at the vinyl asylum where I occasionally post, or in the PC asylum where I have not posted.
I bought the Oppo 105 last fall and I am always interested in John's posts so I have been following this thread with great interest.
I reread the TNT review and was curious about benefit of covering the coax output if it is not being used -- from the review:
"I also experimented with a terminator for the coaxial digital output. This likes to see a 75ohm load, and can sometimes be noisy when left open. Since it is located directly under the audiophile stereo board the effect could be bigger than usual. I tried this and indeed could hear a very slight improvement in the sound. I left it in for the duration of the review."
Have others tried this? Results? What sort of terminator would do?
Thanks, Stephanie
