Upgrade to Oppo?

I have a BDP-95 and was lucky enough to get a UDP-205 when they were produced.

As much as I like my 205 in my main system, I enjoy the difference the 95 made in my living room system 10x more.

I replaced a few hundred dollar Sony blu ray player. The sound with the 95 just gained much more authority. More solid, well defined bass....better timing all around, detail and believability.

Do note....the 95 has a rear fan for cooling. If you can hear the disc spinning on your Planet, you may hear the fan on the 95 too (upside....the fan allows for minimal space required on top).

Going to a 105 eliminates fan and adds a headphone jack.

What’s your budget? A lot of CDP’s out there that are better than any stock Oppo, including the 205 which I own. I prefer my Cambridge 851C over my UDP 205. For what used Oppo’s are going for these days, for the money you can do better.

If your Rega is still playing I’d maybe start with a stand-alone DAC then pick up a Cambridge CXC transport as an example. I haven’t heard a Denafrips Ares DAC yet but it’s getting a lot of great press and it’s a reasonable place to start. 

He did say that the Oppo was available near him....was part of the motivation....

I'm not sure it would be much of an upgrade, although I'm not familiar with the Planet.  I had an Apollo R and have owned the BDP-95.  While the Oppo x5 players have good DACS, I'm not crazy about their sound, they sound more "digital" than many.  I've owned Oppo BDP-95, 103, 105D, HA-1, and UPD-203, so I obviously like them, but not my first choice for music.  I found much better headphone amps than the HA-1 and have sold the HA-1, the 95, and the 103.  The 105D and 203 are mainly for movies.  I never compared the Apollo to the 95 in the same system, but my sense about the Apollo was that it had a more organic sound.  The fan in the BDP-95 was never an issue for me and I had it in my bedroom, maybe 4-6 feet from my bed.

Thanks all.  Yes, I do like to buy local used whenever possible.  Budget about $4 - $500 but a new CD player not a necessity.  If the Oppo 95 is not really an upgrade from the Planet then I may just buy it for the living room as mentioned.  I am also in the market for a dac.  I could pick one up and see how it plays out with the Planet.  

Question:  How does one know if the external dac will override the dac in the Planet?
