Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion

I just got the 105D . My initial comments are the exact opposite of Dmacg's. Although I owned the Cambridge 840C I like the Oppo better. Just goes to show different systems, different tastes. You just have to listen your self

I bought a modded BDP 95, solid state mods, after selling my older 20bit Bat VK-D5SE and the only thing the Oppo did better than the Bat was play movies. I know it was not the 105 Oppo but i miss my Bat Player. Ted

Couldn't live with 105 as all-in-one hub for fidelity and vinyl reasons. I'm lean to being a no frills sort. Not even have a balance control on my preamp. I have had my 105 over a year using it for CD/SACD/DVD-A/Bluray playback and streaming PC, server and cable audio. Edgy, bright not smooth...digital sounding. Then I added an inexpensive tube buffer after the 105. WOW!!! Maybe the tubes and/or maybe an impedance thing? I promise you adding this magic box after the OPPO made for real people playing real instruments right there. Open, quiet background, detailed, natural dynamics and pinpoint placement. No digititis. The opposite of the muffling tube buffers of old. No one here will listen any other way now. Even bought a second buffer as a backup and all my high price modified CD friends are jealous of the bang for the buck results!
