oppo 105d straightup

Had the 105D for two days now and finding it sounds rather abrupt for lack of a better term. Leading and trailing edges are sharp, would like things rounded out a bit more (whether or not rounding makes the player more or less "accurate").
It's not terrible but am hoping a break in period will improve the sound.
Meant to get some XLR's before I ordered, better get on that before the 30 days is up.

Give it a few hundred hours on repeat with breakin tracks, and it will change for the better, for sure. Cheers,
Spencer

digsmithd,

Sounds like i have a system very similar to yours. I have an EVS moded Oppo, which in my opinion sounds great, and i run xlr in to my KWI-200. It sounded ok but seemed to be a bit rough in the highs until i bought some new power cords from Triode Wire Labs.
I never put much faith in power cords but a digital American on the Oppo and a Digital High Current American on the Modwright KWI200 made a really be difference. More musical and quieter background and, more important, smoothed out the highs.

Im using some older shunyata's right now...they work...always believed in the cable make,s a difference.

I had burned my player in approx. 430 hr's before it really started dialing in...I know this sound's nut's...I think it still is changing a little...fwiw I don't miss my sim near as much as I thought I would.

I had shunyata black mambas before i switched. Im not trying to sell anything because everyone has their own personal perferences but i was pleasantly surprised by the Triode cords.

I think they have a free trial period which is outlined on their website.
