In Reply to: Oppo 970- why i'm returning it posted by mr. woodford on November 6, 2006 at 08:36:54:
It was fatal for me for classica music. A pause right before the final section of Pictures at an Exhibition completely broke the flow of the music, and I too found the pause after the 3rd movement in the Beethoven 5th unacceptable. However, I didn't return mine, as I expect to be able to take advantage of the video perormance very shortly. On SACD I found it to be not as good as my Sony 2000ES that cost me only $20 more new and delivered. I posted a comparison of the two below.Perhaps if many owners of the 570D would complain about the pause inserted for every track change, they would speed up up the fix. I was also annoyed that the remote standard buttons for track advance and replay of the track currently playing don't work correctly, but at least I found a work-around for those; it does take two buttons, though.

Never heard of that model. Is that a Euro nomenclature?thx
I didn't think hardly anyone read my posts, and this was a test. I often put a fair amount of time into them, and as near as I can tell, most of them aren't even read, so I have been considering turning into a pure lurker. No, to be serious, for some reason lost deep in my psyche, I mistyped it once and it stuck in my mind that way. I know of no other correct designation than the 970D. In an hour or so I will be within a mile of the Oppo company here in the US, and maybe I should stop by and let them give me a slap in the face for my error. On the other hand, not all of what I said was complimentary, so maybe they preferred I call it the 570D, now superceded by the much superior 970D
thanks- could you point me to your review? the 2000es looks interesting, but doesn't do dvd at all, correct? where'd you biuy yours new? sony has a single disc machine, the 3100es, that does dvd/sacd/cd, but i can't find any objective info on its performance.
I made several posts about the Oppo, mistyping it as the 570D and the 750D, for reasons that are lost in mysteries of my mind. Some posts are more relevant than others, but you can find them all by going to the "Search" function found at the top, type in oppo for the search and jsm for the author.Joe
I use it predominantly for DVD video. Nice picture over component.I have tried several SACDs and DVD-As on this player and all worked fine. I do have other resources for those formats though so I only use the Denon on occasion for hi-rez audio.
I never really see any comparisons versus the Oppo for video and audio playback but if the Oppo isn't functioning correctly I suppose it doesn't really matter.
The Denon 1920 was What Hi*Fi magazine player of the year when it came out for universal players at that price. I doubt they ever reviewed an Oppo however.
is the 1930ci basically the same machine?
On both the 1920 and 1930. I believe the latter thread has a few comments on the differences of those players. The discussions on the players in that forum however may be mainly for video performance. I have had no experince with the 1930 as I'm happy with the 1920 so really have kept up on with the 1930.Audioreview.com may also have reviews on both of those players as well as ecoustics.com.
I own a 2000ES. It is currently in my bedroom system. It does not do DVD at all you are correct. Very good SACD performance for the money.
