No doubt, Oppo 205 is one hell of a player and great value. I placed my order for 205 yesterday.

I dont think anyone has offered a device like Oppo that has the ability for HDMI input (for my AppleTV), LAN network streaming, paid streaming services: ie Tidal, at a price under $2,000. The only other manuf. out there that I have been looking at that fills these needs for me is the Krell Universal DAC. Hey, if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Been alwost thinking about going overkill and getting the Mcintosh MX-122. |
My Modwright 205 was just delivered today so I am a happy camper. I don't see anything else that offers anything close to the value the 205 gives. Panasonic has a new upscale player with analogue outs/better DAC /advanced audio processing coming out in the Fall, but it doesn't look anything near the build quality of the 205. =( https://ce-pro.eu/news/home-cinema/panasonic-dp-ub9000-flagship-4k-blu-ray-player-announced/ |
Take a look at the Cocktail Audio x35. It is a player, ripper, network server, does Roon, MQA. Has the same DACs as the Oppo and will play and rip vinyl as well. It also has an internal 100wpc amp that I don't use because my Maggie's need more. It is a great sounding device that rivals my 203 which has moved on into my theater room. Im using the x35 as a line stage and feeding directly into my amp. |
