Leaving aside the snide aspect of your reply, I still have the 83 connected, and when I want to play one of my nine or ten DVD-As I just flip the selector on my preamp. I'd have more DVD-As if I felt they were sonically superior to SACD in my system, but I don't. Plus there's the PITA factor since my 2-channel system is separate from my video set-up with no monitor.
I initially went with the 105 mostly due to the FOMO factor: What if I don't have DVD-A capability? What if I can't do hi-rez from a thumb drive? What if I can't stream from my computer? What if I don't have HDCD for those handful of dics? I even went so far as to create an account at HD Tracks and download a few albums that people seem to agree are well mastered in the hi-rez format as part of the audition process.
As I said, it didn't do it for me emotionally.

Did you think the Oppo 105 sounded any better than Oppo 83?
Oh yes. The improvement in the breed, so to speak, was very obvious. Much more refined, greater instrument definition, depth, timbre, etc. But, as noted, something lacking for me that's more difficult to define.
