RE: Oppo 105D Review Kal is right

When I used analog from my Oppo 105 and Sony XA5400ES through Cary Cinema 11a inputs set to bypass, I agreed with Kal. Now that both go through a Parasound JC-2, I think I prefer the Sony. The JC-2 seems to have lifted a veil from the sound of the Sony, so it presents a well defined soundstage with nicely balanced sound. The Oppo does sound a bit brighter. To be fair, the Oppo is burdened by speaker management duties, so it cannot play DSD whereas the Sony can. This week I anticipate introducing an Ayre C-5xeMP into the setup, and perhaps moving the Sony to a setup in our living room.

OTOH, the Oppo 105 does everything well.
