Agreed. I'd like to learn more about ripping SACD files off the net and streaming them from the computer to the DAC on this player. This is new territory for me so if anyone is doing this, I'd like to hear about a good procedure.

Wow I didn't think injecting a little smartphone analogy would cause so much controversy. It's a good thing I didn't target just Apple as I'm sure the Apple fan boys would be boycotting this site right now :) Of course I reserve final judgment until I can bench test one of these new players...

This is a very true statement especially since most loudspeaker measurements are very incomplete. Measurements can easily be manipulated to make a product look better than it really is. I sit here listening to the new Status reference speakers dumbfounded by how incredible their bass...

No fan, redesigned VI filters, I think you can expect higher sound quality compared to the BDP95 and the new BDP103 via analog outputs despite the actual D/A converters are the same for the 95/105.

I don't know, nothing in the iPhone 5 has me clamoring to upgrade my iPhone 4 nor am I really seeing a huge benefit going from an iPad2 to iPad3. It depends on what the user is looking for. These new Oppo's appear to offer a much faster user interface for streaming, better quality for...

Results are in and the winner is..... PBC by popular vote and by views in the review thread. Congrats PBC! I think all of you guys are winners as you each did a fabulous job with your reviews. Next time we will try to put better measures in place to prevent voting fraud in the polls...

Electronic House Magazine is looking to showcase high end two-channel systems for their magazine. Post your systems here along with descriptions of the equipment and our friends at Electronic House Magazine may feature it!

Do you mean we should add your name to the list plus 3 guests? :confused:

Excellent and your post is a good reminder. I am sure many of the sponsors of our event will offer a heck of a deal on their demo gear so they don't have to ship it back. I know for sure EMP will be selling all of the stuff they have on demo so prepare to show up and walk away with a good deal...

This should answer all or most of your questions on the new BDP-103 and 105 Blu-ray players. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/cd-dvd-blu-ray-misc-hardware/81710-oppo-bdp-103-bdp-105-blu-ray-q-interview.html#post909365 Oppo will also address any additional questions in the thread I...

No what a full bandwidth ACD test verifies is an unrealistic test condition that would never occur in real life. EVERYONE that does ACD testing does it at 1kHz. I do that too, but I also do full bandwidth for up to two channels per FTC standard. Read: The All Channels Driven (ACD) Amplifier...

this is the case with most preamps that also have 2CH bypass as it allows the inputs and outputs to be buffered. If you look closely at the other user manuals their idle power consumption turned off is typically only a few watts lower than when they are turned on. Notice this Parasound as...

The Poll is Terminated!

BDP-105 won't be available till the end of the year and the first sample is going to me :)

Detailed Q&A Interview Coming Guys; I'm working on a detailed Q&A with Oppo on these new players. It will go live shortly and it should answer most of your questions.

Yea I tend NOT to do that on smaller amps like these. I did do it for 2CH I believe though. Someone buying a $400 amp isn't likely going to be using 5 4-ohm speakers. It's doubtful that amp can meet spec into 4 ohms with all channels driven without using a VARIAC to hold the line voltage...

I do full bandwidth tests with 2CH driven something hardly anyone does. It's simply ridiculous to do full bandwidth testing with all channels driven, especially into 4 ohms. 1Khz power sweep makes a lot more sense and its what EVERY review magazine that measures does and it's what we do...

All balanced ins and outs, subwoofer L/R and mono with bass management option. $899. Very interesting indeed! The specs look pretty darn comparable to my $4k Marantz Integrated Amp that only has single ended outputs

Demo Room Updates All; I just wanted to give a break down of the Demo rooms at our GTG Event next month. Demo Room #1: Emotiva This is a large demo room located by the Dock adjacent to the Hotel Restaurant Emotiva will be setting up a multi channel demo along with showcasing new...
