RE: Perceptions differ...

I guess I didn't expect it to have a sonic signature per se. I was expecting it to be accurate and transparent like my Alesis Masterlink and also like my Eximus DP1 DAC. I've been listening exclusively to a computer music server for more than a year. All my CDs have been ripped to my hard drive. I was just surprised and disappointed when the Oppo sounded rather soft and unemotional instead of detailed and transparent like my other digital components. I don't think there is anything wrong with the Oppo, but I think you might be right about it having a definite sonic signature. I'm not really interested in that sort of thing in a digital component, though. I like my music to present the sonic signature and my digital components to reproduce whatever sonic signature the music presents. However, I fully intend to give the Oppo an adequate break-in period before making a final decision to either keep it or send it back.

Best regards,
John Elison
