Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT?

Yep, did so this past February after having owned a 95 for almost three years. Wanted the Darbee processing and the improvements (heavier, more solid casework, no fan, better toroidal power supply, etc.) that the 105D offers.

Let me begin by saying that I thought the 95 sounded excellent as is. However, in my opinion, the 105D is head and shoulders better playing shiny discs of all types and USB. Even clearer than the 95, which is no slouch in this regard, with a little more meat on the bones and a deeper sound stage with better delineated images. Have not regretted purchasing it at all.

Would the 105D outperform the PS Audio PWT Transport? to a DAC of course...

Thank you Joe. It's reassuring to hear the 105D is significantly better. Especially as many were very satisfied with the 95.

You're welcome, Ptss. What confused me after getting and hearing the 105D was a number of reviews that reported a sound basically the same as the 95 albeit with a good deal of added functionality.

The nice part of buying directly from Oppo is their 30 day buyer's remorse feature. If one really doesn't think it's worth it, then return it and I believe the only expense is shipping.

Hi Joe.Thanks for mentioning the 30 day Buyer's Remorse feature of purchasing directly from OPPO. That is a policy that certainly confirms great faith by the company that they are selling honest value - and there seems no arguments herein. Temptation beckons.
