Oppo BDP - 95 vs. Oppo BDP - 93

Dear all,
These days a lot of Oppo's are on the market. The price could reach 500 $. The 93 is former Stereophile Class A component and the 95 is a Class A+ even now. What is the difference if one intends to use these players just for stereo? What are the recommendations and does the difference worth 500? The only thing I know is that the 95 has balanced outputs and the 93 does not. In my case this is not a problem - I don't have balanced input of the preamp.

The BDP-93 uses a Cirrus CS4382A DAC, and the BPD-95 uses two SABRE32 ES9018 32 Bit DAC's.The Sabre dac is the better sounding one. Also I believe that the 93 has only HDMI outputs
If you are only going to use the player for 2 channel stereo the 95 is the way to go

Nope. Same input/output options as the 95.

For two channel stereo, Mod-Wright make an awesome tube stage upgrade.
