OPPO 105D NO analog out stereo or headphone sound

$1k is about what I paid for mine new, so I'd agree it is a good price for a 205. It doesn't sound a magnitude of order better than the 105 though, but you'll get 4K capability.

Good thing you mentioned that, I haven't tried my DVD-A on my Sony yet. I naturally prefer to use the Oppo or the Denon to play those discs but I should try the Sony just to make sure it works.

Good idea, make sure you set it to DVD A on setting first. I'm sure you already know that though . Ill report back about the audio board replacement hopefully it works out ok.

I accidentally spent 1100 on a 203 thinking it was a 205..couldn't inspect it and guy won't refund so meh need some good music to relax.

The 203 uses the AK4458 dac ic, same one used in many Denon/Marantz AVRs, not SOTA but still transparent enough. It is a great 4K player regardless. Most owners probably wouldn't use it for their so called serious audio listening, but if done blind, I highly doubt they would hear a difference between the 203 and 205 except in a very quiet room the 205 would be silent whereas the 203 might have noise audible to those very sensitive to noise. I really missed the boat on the 205, they typically now go for C$3,000 to C$5,000, used.. I am sure I wouldn't be able to tell a difference listening to music, but to me, the specs and measurements/ownership pride are worth the money.

Hey you might be interested in the review I'm posting here on the Denon PMA A110 (flagship 110,th anniversary model built by hand in Japan)

Happy listening and have fun with everything.

Yes if you include the link to the review please.

I don't own any of the Denon integrated amps as I am more a "separate" person, so either AVR/AVP, but not integrated amps that to me is a compromise that I can easily avoid.

In terms of Denon flagship integrated amp, it used to be the 50 W rated (yes, only 50W, weighed a ton, so very expensive on $ per watt basis) PMA-SX, that had been discontinued a few years ago, then in 2019 they launched the PMA-SX11 limited, a little cheaper listed at ¥780,000 or about US$6000-$7000 at the time, and rated much more, for 100/200 W 8/4 ohms, but that seems to have been discontinued now as well so I guess your A110 is indeed the flagship!

Here's the most expensive Denon integrated amp, based on only 50 W 8 ohms, 100 W 4 ohms, wonder how they managed to sell any, no wonder it got discontinues lol..

Specs:

Elliptical sand casted power supply transformer, claimed ultra high current, 240 A instantaneous current (a bs spec obviously) delivery if I remember right:

Appeared to be fully differential input to output, at nearly 70 lbs, got to be one of the heaviest 50 W rated class AB amp.

I think the 80 W 55 lbs A110 is also a literally high current amp too.

It should pair well with 4 ohm nominal speakers.
