In Reply to: From my perspective, with so few SACDs available posted by Sordidman on October 28, 2014 at 09:23:55:
I didn't expect the BDP-103 to be satisfactory as a standalone player, but I hoped it would be fine as a hi-res transport.
My main intention was to use it in my living room music/HT system hooked into a Marantz 8801 pre/pro via HDMI. Given that the Marantz isn't really high end, I didn't expect to be blown away, but I hoped that SACD playback via Oppo -> HDMI -> Marantz would be better than CD playback via Majik DS -> analog -> Marantz and it isn't. In fact it's the opposite. The Majik DS playing redbook with the Marantz in Pure Direct mode blows away SACD from the Oppo using either HDMI or analog out from the Oppo. I've made the comparisons using hybrid SACDs that have an equivalently mastered CD layer. I was similarly disappointed when I tried the Oppo in my other system.
I'm not sure where to go next, but I'm thinking maybe get an old PS3 and rip my SACDs.
I regret selling my APL modded SACD 1000. As you should know, that was probably not a great idea.
