Wifi Blu Ray Help


I'm looking at the Oppo BDP-105 for the analog out. Are there any other WIFI Blu Ray's comaprible to the OPPO? $1200 a little steep. I'm also thinking BDP-103($499) and just using my DAC but would like to get around that.

Thanx for any input.

I do not think wifi is fast enough to stream Blue Ray. I had problems getting it to work over my Gigabit network. I had to remove all switches and access points that were not at least 100 mps. When I tried it before the change i could see slight stepping in the video, the audio was fine though and that was wired.
BTW I am using an Oppo 105 to stream Blue Ray from an internal Intel Raid controller in my computer. Also I had to connect both the Oppo and my computer directly to the router and still had to update network devices. Blue Ray files are very large even after removing the extra crap from them. My smallest file is 18 Gig in the MKV format.
I have not tried WiFi to other devices around the house yet. The Oppo does show up with the music, movies and pictures list from all storage devises but that is as far as I have gone with it. Right now I am spending most my time digitizing disks to the system. It will be nice when I no longer have to deal with disks other than my vinyl.
Mental..
Some call me that also.

This is the 3rd time I have tried to do storage for high quality music and movies. The issue before was I could not get HDD's large enough even in a Raid configuration without breaking the bank. Now that the cost has come down and the availability of drives larger than 2 TB this is no longer a problem.

I have put together a huge amounts of storage with redundancy. I have 2 24 Terabytes Raid 10 configurations on and/or in my computer for movies. A 12 Terabyte Raid 5 NAS for music and some 2 to 4 terabyte enclosures for temp storage in case I run out of room.

I have digitized all my CD's, SACD's & DVDA disks to the NAS system. I digitized my Blue Ray disks and used up 7TB of the 12TB's in the computer. I am now on to my DVD disks that are being stored in an external 12TB Mediasonic Raid enclosure.

Since the Raid system is in a Raid 10 configuration the storage is cut in half so the 48TB becomes 24TB but it is much more secure and the odds on a catastrophic failure is at a minimum. I will backup the entire system when I can afford to buy more drives. This is taking a while to complete.
