Owned the Oppo 95 as well as many competetive players along with several High End players and found the Oppo 95 to be uniquely unlistenable to me. I am a 2 channel guy and I must say it had a very strong signature DSP style sound that overlayed everything I played on it. Sounded artificially expanded and spacious on all recordings, robbing them of their individual acoustic characteristics. The fan was also quite aggravating after only a few days.
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Hi,
I just received my Oppo 95. I have a question and an observation:
How long have people found it takes before the unit is burned-in and sounding at least close to its best?
I definitely hear the fan...up to about 12 feet or so. I do have a very quiet listening environment most of the time. I'm worried, though, because I sit about 2 feet from my player! (and have to) Has anyone come up with any solutions to the fan noise? (other than putting the player a long way from the listening position, that is)
Thanks very much!
John
p.s. I know some say they don't hear the fan when music is playing. I understand, but it's clearly affecting the noise floor. And enjoying very subtle details, ambience, decay, etc. are very important to me.
