What price level and player does everything the Oppo does at the same quality or better?

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. |
@lalitk Congratulations on jumping on board with the 205. The Thread's Opening Question is a good one. I picked up the 205 (I was in the pre-release group) and returned it after a two week evaluation. I have the 105. Had the 95. Had the 83SE. Not sure if I have much use for the 205 or another brand equivalent. Need to think through this. Any thoughts on why it may make sense to pick one up? Thanks. |
