Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT?

Stereophile Sept.: Oppo‘s BDP-95, it plays everything and sounds great. Any experience with it? How great is „great“ in reality? Great comparable to Wadia, EMMlabs or Esoteric? Great enough for those „masterings“ which gave us monthly sonic revolutions the last 20 years? ,Great‘ to impress anybody who hates CD‘s and is forced listening to it?
The sonic truth between 0 and 1? I am looking for a CD Player. Where‘s the experiemce of this reference sound quality secret?

The only disadvantage is you cannot plug a 1TB external hardrive into it with music recorded in Apple Lossless.

There may be a rumored surprise around the corner for this! While I'm not sure about the details, I do know it has something to do with Apple!

Jdub39: I'm using a Shunyata venom 3 power cord & Tara Analog standard interconnect ($200 in the mid 90's).

Could you be more specific as to what you mean by "readjusting toe-in and rake"?

In my room, the speakers are pointed straight ahead because they're fairly close to my listening seat & they're large. (I'm using the old rule of 1/3's for speaker placement)

Not sure what rake is, & are you referencing the speakers or the unit itself for vibration control?

Darn, when I saw the title of your topic, I was hoping you were referencing iso's & firmware! (-:

I think there's a new flagship from Oppo coming that will include inputs to the DAC to make it an all-in-one media centre. A bit like the Ayre I guess
