Did you ever get a chance to compare 105 with 93 for audio and video performance? I was told by Oppo that both 93/95 and 103/105 uses same transport and video circuitry except for 4K upscaling in 103/105.
I have a 93 with me and planning to pair it with W4S DAC2 for stereo and HDMI for 7.1 surround audio. Do you think Oppo 93 + W4S DAC2 will perform similar to 105 for stereo?
Thanks,
John.
I would say on Video Performance you might not see much upgrade though I have not really compared them back to back. I only have experience with Oppo BDP-95. I borrowed it from a friend in a different set up. IMO, there might be a tinge of extra richness in the picture but I can not say for sure.
Regarding SQ, I do not know the performance of W4S DAC2. Generally the DAC sound is more of your preference after a price point. I preferred the sound of Oppo BDP-95 to Classe CP-800 and infact I love the sound of Classe SSP-800 till date. Back then I had much more resolving system. It all comes back to personal choice and the combo gear.
Oppo sound signature is very neutral. There is no brightness or warmth. There is amazing quiteness in silent moments and very resolved sound. It does not have the analytical nature to the sound like Classe CP-800 had and is also the case that I found with benchmark DAC.
Oppo is musical but the main strength is very clear & clean sound. I have read some calling it lean but that is the lack of coloring. If some one prefers the coloring or more body add a valve amp and one might be more happier that way.
I could not answer straight as I have not heard the DAC that you mentioned but just shared some of my experiences.
Thank You! I am not too sure if Ashish is fine with me telling the price out (as it was a special order) so I just PM it to the ones who requested the price.
But over a period of time, running it via DLNA, is so much more convenient, that I end up always using it except the rare occasions I want to listen to a complete CD.
HI Santy.. It is good to see that you are very curious about this player!I have a query. I suppose the player is region locked for BD.
Is it easy to buy Region-free or Region-A Bluray discs in India.
Also, I read that Oppo 105 does not accept TrueHD/ DTS MA stream on its HDMI inputs? I suppose its a big drawback for someone using it as a pre processor.
