It came in a well packed box with all the cables like HDMI, Power and Audio video cable and the player was well wrapped in a black colour cloth bag with ample padding on the sides to protect it from any damage during transit.
The first impression after looking at the player is that it looks solid on all corners and the quality is well built. The front facia is brushed aluminium and look great and gives the feeling of a much more expensive kit.
The player was tested for Blu Ray playback with the disks like The Dark Knight and Quantum Of Solace.
For Super Audio Cds I tested the player with the Dark Side of the Moon and Brothers in Arms.
For DVD Audio I tested the player with Yash Raj titles of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, and Ta Ra Rum Pum.
For SD Dvd I checked the player with Journey To the Center of the Earth and Casino Royale.
In all the above cases the player was made to bitstream the contents in the raw format for the AVR 905 to decode.
While playing the BDs the first thing which I noticed is the fast loading time which is comparative to Ps3, and since this is the first time I heard the Hd Audio decoded by the amp left a very good impression of the player and the amp with me. Earlier while using the Ps3 I could only decode the HD audio into itself and then send it as LPCM to the amp which sometimes sounded shrill at higher volumes, but Oppo made a very good impression on this front. While playing the Dark Knight BD on the scene where Batman saves Havey Dent from the Joker the dynamic affects of the scene is very demanding and this was well potrayed by Oppo and Nr905. The Picture performance of the player was also spot on thanks to Anchor Bay Upscaling Chip there was no Picture noise.
Then I played the SACD of The Dark side of the moon the sound was WOW and this was unheard till now from Ps3 which could not bitstream the contents and Oppo did so the amp was doing the decoding here and the sound was truly flowing well from all the 5.1 channels and the experience was truly facinating.Same kind of impression was also felt while playing the DVD Audio disks.
While playing the DVD I had this problem when player showed me that the disk was out of its region, so I took the playerr out of my cabinet and this was the most difficult and scary part of this whole installation in which I had to open the top cover of the player and fit the Hard Mod Kit onto it, but the instructions were well detailed and this also went without any glitches and then I connected the player back in my setup and this time the same disk of Casino Royale played without any glitches, and in this department too the Oppo Excelled and the Picture and sound was spot on with next to nil picture noise. The Black levels were excellent and there was no sign of any jitter.
So the overall impression of this player is that its a value for money product and would easily become the center of all your disk related needs. Its a well made kit with all the bells and wishes needed from a high end player.
