OPPO Discussion Thread

Great testimonial TR,once again Oppo's customer service goes above and beyond for their loyal customer. This__ is just one of the reasons we spend our hard earned money on an Oppo product.

I have had an SACD issue with my BDP-95. After hitting the play button there are several clicks of relays and then sound. The disc has already started to play and the sound starts about 10 seconds into the disc. I have also noticed a few times that I play an SACD and no sound comes out of the 2.1 or 7.1 analog outs. Any ideas?

Don't mean to bring up an "old" thread but I just purchased and received my very first Oppo-103. THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!

Audio/Video are both huge improvements, even coming from a Playstation 3. I love it so far. (in the process of watching Captain America)

Thanks! After seeing everyone raving about this product, I had to see for myself. It does not disappoint. Looking forward to tweaking the settings when I have a chance.

About time rookie.

Congrats!

To those with the new 105-how's the progression on burn-in of your player going?
Can anyone testify to improvements after a while of use yet?
I read 200 hours as most of you probably did as well.I noticed the Yes SACD isn't up to snuff yet compared to teh Marantz 15S2 i also use.

[Lost240]

I love Oppo. Great customer service!

[KLapinas]

So is oppo gear as good as the mags say? I have never seen or heard one.

What your probably hearing in the sound between the 2 players is the difference in dac chips. Your ears may just prefer the Marantz.

I have another question about the 105 as it relates to its DACs, and computer audio. Most of my questions have centered around USB because that is what I hear about the most when it comes to computer based music. But what about HDMI? Most of the laptops coming out now have an HMDI out. Mine does, and I use it from an Asus Netbook to an HDMI in on the Sherwood. Even with streaming at only 320kbps the sound is really good. Also, with using HDMI I can choose to engage Trinnov for 5.2 Stereo Surround, or one of Trinnov's other surround settings. This is a really cool option I think. So, does anyone know what the pros/cons are when using the 105's HDMI in vs USB in for computer music?

HDMI audio out of a computer can sound very good, but USB out (when done properly) should be superior. I use both HDMI out (to my 5.1 channel system) and USB out (to my 2-channel system) from the same PC. The systems are completely different and not comparable, but I'm very happy with the audio quality of the HDMI out to my receiver. I use foobar2000 as my media player which allows me to use WASAPI with both the USB out and the HDMI out, though I use ASIO for USB .

Ethernet should not be discounted either.

I love my oppo-93. Not sure what really is different between the 93 and the 103. No need for me to upgrade yet I suppose.

[chiptouz]

I would say yes. I have not been let down by my bdp-93 and have had it over 2 years.

[falconcry72]

...Not sure what really is different between the 93 and the 103....

4k. HDMI inputs. Different video and audio processing chips.

[chiptouz]

Interesting. Thanks for the response. Did you notice a huge difference over the 93? Also what are people getting for the 93 selling used?

I've never owned either lol.

Check ebay completed listings for windage on sales.


I would imagine that they sound the same. If you NEED hdmi inputs and 4k, then you need the 103. If not, then stick with the 93.

[chiptouz]

falconcry,

I really don't need hdmi inputs. Mine already has dual hdmi outs (which I needed since my receiver doesn't pass 3d) and my tv (if it is a tv thing) doesn't do 4k. My next purchase will be an external amp I think.

[brgman]

Anyone done the mod wright tube upgrade to a 95?
Or 105-but it seems a bit soon for anyone to have that yet.

[BlueFox]

Here is a discussion on another forum.

"My ModWright Oppo BDP-105 arrived yesterday as expected. I set it up last night and have started the break in process. I will post detailed impressions in a few days, but to sum it up in one word - WOW!!! I have really had a hard time tearing myself away from listening to my system... "

[Toolfan66]

I was lucky enough to get my ears on a ModWright BDP-95 and it was WOW!!


Congrats!!

[SDA1C]

Any one know why the network version of the 93 is $200 more than the standard version?

Scouring this thread.Thanks.

Just a note for anyone who didn't already know: Oppo had a Beta fw version that's been out for several weeks on their 103/105 machines and it's now an official version as of a couple days ago. It's quite extensive and requires a reset of factory settings after the update. Good things include lip sync issues solved, DSD support now from external files. The bad includes big music and big movie meddling to give less support for backed up Blu-ray copies and no longer any SACD-R support.

[Polkie2009]

Thanks for the update Tornado Red, I know a number of people were posting on AVS about having an issue with the lipsync. Concerning the less support for backed up BR copies etc... Have a feeling the whole industry has come to a point where all manufacturers are not going to support new BR machines to play copies.

Think you're definitely right about that. This really isn't Oppo's doing, it's their chip manufacturers being leaned on by the entertainment industry, and so it will be with other BD player suppliers as well. I hear some people talking about not installing anymore fw versions to keep the support they have now for BD copies, SACD-R etc. Of course the down side to this will be the inability to play BD movies in the future with yet-to-be invented encryption. So some are seeking a second player to keep them up to date with technology.
On a personal note, the Beta fw they had recently was buggy enough that I stayed away, and since my player is working great right now on old fw, I may wait a couple weeks before I install the new official one, sort of see how things shake down for everyone with this version. The Oppo thread over on AVS is a great place to keep tabs on things as they develop, like you mentioned Polkie.
