It sounds a little bit better. I'll make a firm decision by the end of the month, but I'm leaning toward keeping it.
There are a lot of things I don't particularly like about it, though. It seems to have a short drop-out on the first song of an album on the flash drive just about every time I begin playing an album from the flash drive. It doesn't remember that I've watched half a movie on DVD when I go back to the movie later. It doesn't turn my TV on automatically. It also doesn't change my TV back to TV after I've finished watching a movie and I turn off the Oppo. I have to do everything manually when it comes to switching inputs on my TV whereas my my cheap $80 Samsung Blu-Ray Player did everything I just mentioned completely automatically.
On the other hand, I'm beginning to get used to the Oppo's sonic signature and some things are beginning to sound good to me. Consequently, I might end up keeping it, but I don't need to make that decision until the end of the month.
Best regards,

So that I can understand why you are keeping it.
Thanks.

I'm not keeping it because of its sonic signature. If I decide to keep it, and I'm now leaning in that direction, it will be in spite of its sonic signature. I'm becoming accustomed to its sonic signature and it doesn't bother me as much as it did when I first heard it. In fact, the more I listen, the more I'm discovering that some things actually sound pretty good when played on the Oppo.
The main reason I bought the Oppo was to consolidate all my digital audio and video components into one component while also adding SACD capability to my system. The Oppo BDP-105D does this very neatly. It replaces my DVD/Blu-Ray player, my CD player, my computer music server, and my DAC with one component that has balanced analog outputs. This is what I wanted. The Oppo BDP-105D allows me to remove all the clutter from on top of my fireplace mantel. You can see the difference in the following "before" and "after" pictures.
