Which OPPO?


Might be time to upgrade my years old Sony blu ray. We watch one or two movies weekly and lately, the Sony completely freezes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours into a movie, needing a complete reboot (pulling the plug) to restart and then click to where we left off....aggravating!

Been thinking about an Oppo for a while, but how much better are the latest ones as opposed to the 103 which can be had for around $500. It will be hooked to plasma tv, Sonus Faber Toy Towers, Nad 326 BEE integrated amp. It will rarely be used for just playing music, tv and movies only. Is there any need to move to the new 105 at more than twice the cost?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks for the comments!
We also do have an apple tv hooked to this if we want to stream some music or netflixs as well.
Happy to hear that the 103 would be just fine!
Well we got the 103 and it makes a great difference - very nice machine!

We got everything set up and it is working well with playing movies, dvd's and cd's. We have the network hooked up, but strangely when we try to stream music from the internet via logtitech media server, it all loads up and when you hit play for an artist it just keeps scrolling down the playlist and won't actually stop and play a song. What am I missing here?
Thanks Nonoise - should have thought of that myself - it's weird though because the system streams just fine through the apple tv....
hard when you can't quite get to the back of things without dragging components out of cabinet - i swear next time I'm getting tv rack with casters!
