As Mel notes, something is so wrong with your Oppo 105 that even extended break-in time is very unlikely to bring it to acceptable standards.. The unit simply does not sound the way you describe it, despite a few posts here to the contrary.
I do have to say that the word "transparency" has me bothered a little. I recognize that "transparent" is the adjective du jour in many audio circles but to me (after hearing systems lauded as "transparent" at shows and elsewhere), it brings to mind words like "threadbare," "bleached" and "uninvolving." I'm sure you don't think of it that way, and that's probably a minority view. But in any event the 105 is, in my system, full-bodied, dynamic, very open, and quite sufficiently detailed without being "ruthlessly revealing." Just so you know where i'm coming from. And that's the stock unit. The ModWright version is a whole other story.
