Bdp 95 now or wait

[BMW]

Can anyone read the crystal ball and tell me if I should wait to buy the Oppo BDP95 as there will surely be updates at years end. I'm not sure what they could add. Just looking for info or opinions. Thanks

They actually have typically released a new player by now in the year, so they are either taking their time or working on something big. Never hurts to contact them directly. They may offer advice as to the timing of it, and if it is far enough off, they will tell you to get the 95 now.

I'm not sure what they could add. BMW

The option to hook up as a standalone DAC and removal of the fan would be great. They can also add network streaming features such as DD+ Netflix and others but I hope not, as it does not make much sense for people to wear and tear their $1,000players on those things.

I've got a 95 and love it. That said, a 93 might have been better for me. I, for one, can't hear any difference with the analog output in 7.1 analog mode, vs 7.1 digital mode....and I end up using HDMI over RCA to run it in 9.1

If you're going to use HDMI, get the Oppo 93 over the 95.

That said, I still love the 95. I'm thinking of getting a 93 too for another room.

I tried both, and kept the 93. I could not tell any difference in sound or picture between the 93 vs the 95.

CPP I am curious Did you try to analog stereo outputs on the 95? That's where OPPO says it better then the 93.

I'd wait. There are reports that the new ones will do Netflix 1080p and have two HDMI inputs. The replacement for the 95 will also work as a USB DAC.

No real need to answer this one, as the OP has not come back since asking.

No sent the 95 back and kept the 93.

The new BDP 103 and 105 is on the way to replace the BDP 95. The only thing I know are the new once will have digital inputs and no more cooling fans inside.
