? about oppo

I think Bobrock has been hiding under one for several years. Oppo's Blu/SACD/DVD/CD players, starting with the '83, are probably the best-looking and -sounding multidisc players out there, and besides that, they're inexpensive. I sure love my '83SE, and my friend loves his (my fomer) '83.

I dont have an ayre palyer...I have a Thule audio DVA 120 universal. I got it from the last distributor when Thule went under. For the record, cd playback on it is great. I am only looking around for better video performance as it does not have hdmi inputs. I have come across few dvd players that are good at cd playback. Linn was the last one I demo that was really great for music as well as video. I still have not seen one of these oppo players anywhere and I dont buy what I can not demo...nobody should. Very Dumb idea. Right now I am leaning towards a used Linn or cambridge audio (new).

Sounds like Sthomas12321 needs to take some of the money he made from the sale of his Ayre gear and invest in some Q-tips.

We will all strive to be just like you partner. We know you have all the answers, and your ears are vastly superior to ours . Very classy post btw.

The comment about the Ayre is funny. I had an Emotiva ERC-1 then bought an oppo 95 to replace the emo. I promptly returned the oppo, it absolutely lost in every respect to an A/B in comparison to the ERC-1. Next I purchased an Ayre C-5xeMP which finally replaced the ERC-1 by besting the emo this time in every regard. So if the Oppo lost to the Emo and the Emo lost to the Ayre I would say the OPPO 95 is far below the sound quality of Ayre.
