Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95


Greetings! This is a branch off of an earlier thread. I am considering an dedicated cd and/or sacd player as un upgrade over my Oppo BDP 95 universal player. Consensus seems to be that this will provide "better" red book playback which is 95% of my listening. As it is nearly impossible to do live listening comparisons where I live, I ask my fellow ’Goners for their input and suggestions. My system consists of said Oppo, Magnepan .7’s and Parasound Halo integrated.
Thanks!

The Oppo 95 does have balance outs i own one. The big difference for me was the fan noise on the 95. the 105 has no fan. I compared the 95 and 105 side by side and for me the 105 had a big step up in video over the 95. The audio of the 105 was a little bit better, but not enough for me to make the change. Oppo are good units with great customer service and 95 or 105 are good choices in their price ranges
