Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE

Hi, Jdub39. I suspect your Oppo95 is very good on playback. Oppo really souped up the analogue section compared to the 83SE. I imagine all that experice with the 83SE has led to a serious audio improvment with your 95. Look at the Rotel transformer they use for example. I can't imagine not being very happy with that unit. There is a reason there is a waiting list here for it. But I couldn't wait so I'm very happy with my Nuforce 93NE. I understand there may be a software update for it. ALso I plant to change the plug to a three prong later on. happy listening eveyone, cheers, lloyd

ithe decision to purchase an oppo 95 and have it modified vs tmodwright modded 83se may boil down to the sound of tubes, to some extent vs the sound of solid state. while this may be an oversimplification, it haaaaaaaaas been suggested that nuforce's mod does not produce the sound of tubes, while dan's mod does.

i guess it is a matter of taste.

Changing the stock cord to a Pangea ac-14SE after breaking in the unit was a nice improvement. Altogether a nice package. But I also liked this PC on my older 83SE. So, do try an upmarket PC on your Oppo. They deserve the love...:)... To be clear on tubes I simply wish to say that this Nuforce-93NE doesn't do the syrupy, over soft sound. There seems to be no hint of digital here. There is a wonderful energy infused into my sytem that has me hanging on every word. It is amazing how vocals sound so right.It simply sounds like music that draws me in and makes it hard to get work done. It is very addictive. Just one of those units that make you want to listen. cheers, lloyd

Indeed it does make you listen for hours on end, I use a PS Audio AC3 12 gauge cable on my 95 and after full burn in I plan to pop in a HiFi Tunning Supreme fuse, I use an AC10 on my Quintet and an AC12 on my 2Channel amp, all Components have Silver Star fuses ( with phenomenal results). IV'e been holding back to see what character the 95 was going to have as it's my first Oppo, I believe the Supreme and an AC10 will be a good match because of the Hi resolution the 95 is capable of, You said it best, it deserves the best treatment and you couldn't be more right!

Hi everyone. I cannot decide between the 93NE and 95 for AV (Bluray and DVD) and auido only (CD, etc) playback. I am concerned about fan noise on the 95. My setup would include either the 93NE or the 95 HDMI video to a monoprice HDMI switch box then right to the LG 50PV450 50" plasma. For audio, I will use the analog out with only the left and right front channels enabled (rest of channel info mixed into the left and right channels) since I am a two channel guy. Preamp is a NAD T163 in two channel mode for all analog and digital inputs and my amp is a Audio Refinement multi 5 used to drive my Tekton 6.5t in biamp mode. I do not need balanced outputs from the Oppo to my preamp. Whichever Oppo unit I go with, it will be replacing a Linn Classik Music as my CD source and a Sony BDP-470 as my DVD / Bluray source.
