Oppo 105 or DAC


My 2.1 audio system consists of the Emotiva XPA-5 amp, USP-1 pre-amp, and their ERC-2 CD Player.

I have an iMac and it is not connected to my audio system yet as I am trying to figure out the best way to do it.

This system will mostly be for listening to music which comprises of iTunes, cd's, sacd's, and concerts dvd's and blue ray.

My question is if you had this system would you go ahead and purchase the Oppo 105 and use it as your DAC and disc player or would you suggest something different?

Given your current system I agree with RW. Did you buy the 105?

Hightechredneck,
Was your Oppo 105 that the Campbridge humiliated a stock version or modified?

I have the Oppo and when I connect the iMac all works well for about 2 minutes and then the Oppo stops "seeing" the iMac. Pity, because it sounds well until this happens. I did a firmware update that was supposed to fix it and the fix lasted about 2 days. I was offered to send it back but I just started using the iMac with the Digital Ins on my Denon CD/SACD player and I left it at that.

Thar's using the Oppo as the control point... I don't recommend that, weak interface. Use the Mac as your media server control point feeding music to the Oppo via DLNA Use the hardwire Ethernet ports with static IP's to make the DLNA setup fast. I discovered what was making mine erratic on setup time... make sure after defining the Oppo as local Ethernet for network that its not in screen saver mode when you try to launch the DLNA media player program on your PC or Mac
