Headphone Amp Listening Tests By request, I added the following addendum to my review which can be found in the Listening Tests section: Headphone Listening Tests Another nice audiophile feature of the BDP-105 is the dedicated headphone amplifier which is tied directly into the ESS Sabre...

No time to do additional measurements but I will try the headphone amp with my Sennheiser HD 600 headphones which are 300 ohm impedance.

Guys, the list from post #110 is a bit outdated since we addressed many of the items. Can someone post an updated list of action items again and preferably a list of items multiple people are experiencing the same issues with? I want to get our developer on this but don't want to spin his...

Correct, the balanced outputs are pure direct, no bass management.

I did discuss the USB DAC. As for the headphone amp,, I just got tired of writing ;) I will add in a followup about that soon.

Per Oppo: ISO playback was briefly available in the BDP-93/95 players although we never announced it nor officially supported it. However the studios requested through various channels that we remove ISO playback due to the concerns of playing backup movie discs. In a firmware release note...

Every Oppo I've bench tested, I checked the bass management and reported on it in the associated reviews. All of them operated pretty similarly though the slopes were a tad shallow on the BDP-105.

I think he meant the speaker would produce a flatter response driven by a constant voltage source rather than varying it based on impedance to try to always keep it at 1watt. I will ask him to clarify the next time I speak with him.

Not sure why you felt the need to start a new thread for this article rather than post on the existing one? You need to go back and re-read the article b/c you misunderstood several points. The Ideal Voltage Source/Flat Frequency response was talking about the amplifier, NOT the speaker. 1...

What do you mean? Define wattage at the beginning? We have 3 articles on loudspeaker power handling which I linked up at the bottom of the first page.

Thanks, I thought I did, but will update now.

The main article image shows up small but here is the expanded image that was taken at CEDIA a few years back at the Transparent Cable booth.

Floorstanding surrounds is good if you can place the listening seats far enough away from the surrounds otherwise they will tend to be too localizable. It may be preferred for music, but not as much for movies.

You cannot simply average the SPL data without applying some sort of weighing to the average if you want it to have some sort of real meaning to it. I discuss this here in our Bassaholic Room Size Rating Protocol: Audioholics Subwoofer Room Size Rating Protocol — Reviews and News from Audioholics

The driver has dual voice coils. ! amp per coil, allows for better heat dissipation and power handling for the driver.

How about throwing up some images?

Guys; If someone could tabulate all of the remaining issues with the new forum into one post, I will submit them to our web developer to see if he can resolve them. thx.

Correction to Preview Article Based on the CEA data presented by Mark, I changed out the 134dB SPL claim to 125dB and also included the measurement info in the article as listed below: 10 hz 31.6% 99.5 12.5 hz 28.2% 106.7 16 hz 22.4% 111.3 20 hz...

Agreed with you about the Velodyne measurement software being pretty much a useless endeavor if you even remotely care about accuracy. But the manual EQ is the most flexible I've used and essential in my setup. But I still must use external measurement devices since Velodyne's resolution is...

I have some new data on the driver mechanics: <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Mechanical Xmax is 1.7 inches (not peak-to-peak). Linear Xmax is approximately 1 inch (not peak-to-peak). The brochure should have said 4” diameter dual 1.75”-long voice coils. There are of course also...
