The Oppo 105D is the Swiss army knife for the little silver disc, and it is also a very good streamer. In other words, it will play anything the cat drags in. I use mine to feed a Meridian G68 DAC / preamp via HDMI into a Meridian 621 hub for all things digital. In this application, it is as good as anything out there, (but Meridian is in another league from most other digital gear, so the Oppo is basically a transport.) I haven't listened to its analog outputs, but I owned and have listened extensively to an Oppo 95 and it was pretty good - not Meridian good, but pretty good for a CD player. Oppo is moving on to UHD, so if you want an Oppo 105D, you need to move pretty quickly. Reportedly the new Oppo UHD players will have fewer features than their recent BDP players.
Comparing these CD players with my gear...
Hi folks,
I'm always messing around with CD players. A longtime audio friend of mine says I have a CD fetish... well, he's probably right. In a medium that is slowly dying, I'm still spinning discs more than ever. I stream too, but there still something awesome about taking a CD or LP and placing it in/onto a machine to play the sweet music we all love.
Anyway, in my latest jaunt for something new, I've put together my latest list of players that have caught my eye for one reason of another. My gear consists of a Creek 4330SE integrated amp and Vandersteen 2C speakers. Cables are DH Labs Q-10's and Air Matrix interconnects.
So what are your thoughts/impressions/comments on the synergies of the following CD players and how they would sound with my gear. I'm most curious about the Naim, Cambridge Audio and Myryad.
Naim CD3.5
Cambridge Audio 840c
Myryad MCD600
Cal Audio Labs Icon mkII Power Boss
Marantz CD6006 (or CD6005)
Rotel RCD-1072
