Absolute Sound - do we really need another review like this?



I own the OPPPO 105 player purchased 3 years ago and still very satisfied with it.
There are TONS and TONS of glowing reviews of this unit and apparently oppo is working on a replacement model.

In this current February 2017 issue of Absolute Sound, there is yet another review (a brief one) on this unit.

Kind of long in the tooth and totally futile. Sounds like the following Scenario:

oppo: hi stereophile, look, we are still a few months away from putting out the 105 replacement, could you run something just so that we can keep the flame alive before the new model come out?


 Sorry but that went trough my head reading this review of the still-stellar and reviewed to death Oppo 105.

Cheers all !

Stereophile an Absolute Sound are caters to people with a average income of $195K to $225 K and up....

How is that?  First. they probably own a home in the $400K & up depending on the down payment. Say $3200+ a month

add Car payments/Food/etc> $1200+. Then go out and spend another 100K on a AUDIO SYSTEM . To high? Really. That's what both rags  feature reviews almost every month. If you were put those components together as system. The Dynaco Kit crowd are left  for stuff on the back pages. p.s. If one reads between the lines. They can find there own little GEM.
