Oppo 205 revelations, questions..


Just installed my OPPO 205 27.09.18. •Surprisingly pleased with having a volume control on the remote! No comment on its quality just the pleasure when answering the cell. Hadn’t even checked the features of the 205 before buying- just wanted to grab this “Swiss Army knife equivalent in disc spinners. 
•Dr. No, 1st James Bond flic,a very old DVD,was very significantly enhanced on my 52 inch Pany plasma from 8’ viewing using HDMI . I was surprised at the improvement of this low budget film. Sound quality also significantly more clear and dynamic than that off my Lexicon RT 20, which I had found acceptable for DVD’s. No going back. 
•Improvements to sound on CDs obvious from the first turn on.  I will listen to some RR discs tonight to use for comparison after a week of “break in”. 
•my biggest take away from the improved CD sound : an itch to obtain even better CD sound from a dedicated DAC. Perhaps a Berkely DAC 1 or ?? Something similarly economical but better??? Thanks in advance for comments on this. 
•I set the the DVD 24p conversion ‘on’ and custom resolution to 1080p 24 hz. The movie looked good. Is this the optimal setting?
• obviously I was one of the last few to receive a 205. I’m fully satisfied with purchase; and consider myself very lucky not having to to consider other options. Thanks for reading. Pete

@ricevs. Thank you. I will be looking into this possibility. Just to confirm, you use the Oppomod lps, but improved by you, to replace the smps for the digital side, as part of your upgrade?

No, I bought an Oppomod power supply to try (used to use modded Oppomod power supply for my 105 mods). I found that even with extensive mods it was not what I could make.....so, I am making my own even better power supply (you can see pics on my site). One of many things that is better on mine is that the power transformer is located in the back......not butting up right against the other toroid. You do not want two transformers interacting.  My power supply is normally cheaper than the Oppomod one too.....and now 25% off.

The sound has improved. Significantly. Don’t know how much the filter choice has made;but, listening to a Nat King Cole album again the processing of the recording is readily apparent; not the case on listening a few days ago. I think this album is very relaxing. Timeless for me. 
@ptss - Took your lead and switched to "Apodizing Fast" in the filter menu. Seems to have opened things up a bit more. Did you try this one before choosing “linear phase fast”? Thanks for the inspiration! 
@dweller. No I hadn’t checked any other than linear phase fast. Had you checked linear phase fast?  I may experiment next week. Very pleased at the moment.
