Wcc10, please post your mailing address, and Erik will put a check in the mail for $1500. That's the difference in cost between the $500 Oppo and the $2000 Brooklyn, and as cavalier as he was about the recommendation of a piece of gear priced 4x higher than the one you were looking at, I'm sure he'd be glad to send you the $1500. And the best part is, after listening to your new Mytek Brooklyn, Diana Krall will actually sound like a human being who hasn't been attacked by vampires and had her soul sucked out, because you can totally tell when the equipment makes the artist sound like someone who has been accosted by creatures of the night. Or, you can do nothing, and only use your system one day a week, to scare the local kids on Halloween? Just a thought...
OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby)
Hey all, (My mistake, I know it’s Darbee, not "Darby.")
I think I’m finally going to break down and buy a player that plays SACD disks. I know there are not all that many SACD titles available but I tried getting back into vinyl and was not all that happy with the $800.00 table I bought. Perhaps when I can afford a $3,00.00 PLUS turntable I will try again.
Anyway, I currently play DSD & FLAC files via thumb drive with my Marantz network player and CDR via a good Yamaha CD player. My amp & pre-amp are Emotiva and current speakers are B&W.
My thought is to buy an OPPO 103 - NON Darbee addition as I do not expect to use it for anything but 2 channel audio.
So, my qiestion is; how does the OPPO BDP-103 perform when playing Hi-Res audio and especially SACD? Does anyone have first hand experience with other players that may be a better choice for what I want in the same price range? I’ve read that the OPPOs tend to do better with Video play back than audio. Is this true?
I appreciate any & all replies!
