I just read that you sometimes feel fatigued after listening to your Emotivas. I don't want to derail this topic (which is on dac/pre), but in my experience, I have found that an improvement in power cords, interconnects, speaker wire, and definitely fuses will help reduce listening fatigue. Depending on what you get, they all work towards removing the glare and mid/high-frequency harshness. These items can also help improve the resolution from your system(as some interconnects are not good enough to reveal the true resolution of the source).
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!

Sorry, one more topic. My cousin DOES NOT have any extra 280p remotes. The HTS remotes will not work. The Ebay seller is saying that the Krell RC codes are available for programmable remotes. I would ask him -specifically- where to find these. If the battery replacement does not work, you could be out of a remote for a long time if the RC codes are not actually available. I searched and could not really find anything. |

I will definitely ask him where he thinks they are available. For me the remote makes a big difference but not necessarily a deal breaker. Actually, I was saying that I felt fatigued listening to the Rotel amp/preamp I auditioned a while back NOT the Emotiva. I do have upgraded power cords, speaker cables & interconnects, etc. They all did help a lot of course! I have not played with fuses yet although I am sure that they can help. I'm a little afraid to open the Emotivas up as I do not want to harm the warranty. But that could be a fairly inexpensive upgrade I will try in the future. |
Aha! it looks like you get a remote programmed specifically to support the 280p here: http://www.remotes.com/product-p/krell%20rt305245.htm $30!! |
