Oppo protection plan ??
ptss,    I agree with the others, save your money.   Oppo's quality and support are very good.   My 105 has operated flawlessly for over 2 yrs.   Even if you're unlucky enough to get a rare lemon, you'll likely know it before the basic 2 yr warran...

Help a guy out? Renovating home theater system after 10 years and have a few questions.
vasubandu,     You have some good equipment to get started with if you want to cobble together a good ht system.      However,  I think you need to decide what your goal is for the final result.  Do you want a  good ht system that utilizes as much...

twoleftears,     I sympathize with the difficulty you must have distinguishing between the audio performance of 3 integrateds given your physical handicap.      I'd suggest investing in a good surgical solution prior to beginning an amp search.Tan... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
     " Oppo does not play SACD-Rs ( DVD or USB stick with ,iSO on it or via DLNA) due to copyright restrictiions, but does play DSFs "cut" from SACD-R, "     Thank you for your correction, mikhaelkuz.  My mistake.  I was referencing my 105's owne... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
     I consider the Oppo 105's  CD playback to be very good thanks to its overbuilt power supply with large toroidal transformer, separate and isolated CD playback circuitry and excellent Sabre 9018 and 9028 dac chips usually found in much more ex... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Hi jonasandezekiel, I haven’t heard any of the better Marantz players so I cannot give you any useful advice on how it compares to the Oppo 105 I have owned for the past 2 years. I won’t claim the Oppo is the best available since I’ve not audition... 
Room set up
mancub1,     I  just wanted to add that your system is similar to mine; I also utilize 4 subs in my system and go directly from the 5.1 outputs of an Oppo Bluray player to multiple amps.  My setup works equally well for both ht and 2-ch music.  I ... 
Room set up
mancub1, Since you have 4 subs, and if those subs are positioned properly in your room, there’s absolutely no need for any microphones, room analysis/correction software, room treatments, prayer, chants, higher power involvement, snake oil or vood... 
Michael Fremer's system
     Like buying an expensive sports car and only backing it out and back into your cluttered garage.  Get a room!       Buy a new house if you have to.  He may be mentally ill.  He's sure not thinking clearly.  What a waste of fine equipment.  Is...

Hi simon911, I have a very good solution for you but would like to know more about your current system and budget before going into a more detailed discussion of exactly how the proposed centerpiece component’s capabilities would enhance your syst... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Hi migueca,     Okay, 70W on the Zu Omen Defs is plenty of power; almost overkill.  I don't think it's too much since it's such clean, low distortion power  You're virtually guaranteed the amp will never clip and you'll have plenty of reserve powe...

Hi david_ten,     Thank you for your kind reply.  I hope your kitchen reno plumbing glitch has been remedied without too much expense. I've been through a kitchen reno recently and understand a bit about unexpected glitches.  Hang tough and everyt...
