Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion

Rockyboy, the Exemplar Oppo 105? What is SQ?

Exemplar's product, if I understand it correctly, is a highly modded oppo player.
SQ=sound quality

Rockyboy, yes it is a modified Oppo 105 we are talking about not the 95 or earlier. I think the new output stage they put into the Oppo in this mod. really makes it exceptional.

Exemplar player did indeed sound nice, but just not any better than my Arcam - especially considering the Exemplar's price tag.

I took home the Oppo 105 and the Cambridge 851C and was able to compare them at home. No comparison, in fact, a WORLD of difference. I was, frankly, shocked. I had read so many glowing reviews/remarks on the Oppo. Thin, uninvolving, fatiguing.....I could go on. The Cambridge 851C on the other hand was wonderful. I don't get what the fuss is about.

Cheerio;
