Oppo Vs Esoteric
gdhal,From page 60 of the Oppo manual it states the following: SETUP MENU OPTIONS61•DSD – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion. For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analog signal d...

Ozzy,Please let us know how the mod made a difference sound-wise. 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
Thanks for the folks. While it looks like the Oppo is not a giant killer, it is a great bargain for the price. My choice will be dependent on the loudspeaker I end up with, because the budget will set the purchase decision. Besides, it looks like ... 
Current speaker threads are boring
@inna You should try the Spendor D7 and the ProAc D30RS or the D48. Superb sounding loudspeakers. Not boring at all. I was also surprised by the Paradigm Persona 3F. But these have too much bling factor for me. 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
During the visits to the 5-6 dealers, I did not find a single system using either Esoteric or Marantz or Ayre SACD players. Mostly it was CD players (MBL, Simaudio, Rega) or streamer/DACs (Naim, McIntosh, etc). I have not yet made up my mind on th... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Folks, I visited about 5 dealers yesterday to audition different loudspeakers. One thing I realized that, loudspeakers are simply user preferences. No loudspeaker is great and no loudspeaker is bad. How can a brand X, which so may people love, be ... 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
Thanks guys. I plan to visit about 5-6 shops today and see how I go about choosing a loudspeaker and what budget it leaves me for the digital player. With all the feedback that was provided, there is not a 0.0001% doubt in my mind that the Oppo ca...

I need a new DAC! Advice/Recommendations?
@Peter(pbnaudio),That Vinshine DAC looks interesting. Wonder how it compares with the Holo Spring Level 3 DAC, since both are R2R DACs. I saw that they have 4 levels from SGD 888 to SGD 5600. Which one do you have? Can you please share your thoughts? 
2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
@nutty,That is correct. In anticipation of getting a new disc player in the next couple of months, I immediately ordered a set of XLR cables from Paul last week, as soon as I heard about his surgery. Got them today. Listening to my music with thos... 
Oppo UDP - 205
I am a bit hesitant right now about the digital options in front of me.Either I go with a $6-7k loudspeaker and a $4-5k SACD playerORgo with a $10k loudspeaker and the Oppo.People have suggested the second option. That way I can use the Oppo as a ... 
Oppo UDP - 205
@dragon_vibe,Sure, I can understand. I am curious as to which high end DACs did you compare the Oppo to. Can you provide in detail on what was missing with the Oppo and how much of a difference the high end DAC made? That will at least give us an ...
