Lewinskih01, go for the MW tube mod. With the tube mod, you have the option to dial in the sound by tube rolling.
I have a MW Transporter and after some tube rolling, it's excellent. I had a MW Oppo BDP83 w/SS mod, didn't like it as much and sold it.
I'm contemplating in getting a MW Oppo BDP95 w/tube mod for non redbook. Dan is a good guy to deal with. Good Luck! |
OK, contacted Modwright and Dan said he "doubts" he will offer the digital input option. He said performing that mod to the XA5400ES has proven very difficult and costly.
So seems Touch and BDP-95 won't go hand in hand. Anybody using the USB or eSATA into the Oppo 95? Wondering what people are using to browse through the music in the external hard drive. |
If you follow the link I provided above to the Oppo review you will be able to read more. Powerful connectivity options: The BDP-
95 is equipped with a hard-wired RJ-45-type
Ethernet port, a wireless-n Wi-Fi adapter, an
eSATA port, and two USB 2.0 ports. As shipped,
the player can play music, video, or photo files
from USB or eSATA drives, and can also stream
certain types of content from the Internet. It
cannot, however, function as a USB DAC,
although it unofficially provides DNLA Server-like
“Experimental Functions” that potentially allow
the BDP-95 to play digital audio files stored on
PCs attached to your home network. |
I have tried both USB and e-sata in the Oppo-95. I found the sound of e-sata more to my liking. |
Rwwear: I did read it, but don't see where they explain this. Maybe it's this, which I cannot comprehend: "although it unofficially provides DNLA Server-like Experimental Functions”. Looking at the Oppo manual the user interface didn't seem friendly or practical at all. Hence my question.
Dchan88: what do you use to browse over your music collection with the 95 and external HDD? |
