High Quality Universal Player??

I have owned a 105 for about the last 4 years now and I gotta say that it has performed very well. I recently performed an upgrade to the a/v portion of my system (minus the 105) and I was forced to use the 105 as an HDMI Switch. It performed brilliantly and note that the phone app makes it easy to operate all functions with your smartphone to boot. All of the streaming functions have also worked well too. My only complaint is that the transport mechanism doesn't always seat properly back into the unit when closing.

If I wanted an Oppo BDP-105D for audio; (I do Santa) but wanted to save money; I'd look for a BDP-95, non Darbee. Not a BDP-103. But I have. They go for like $100 less than a 105. Crazy!

Can the BDP-103 receive audio from Apple Airplay in iTunes?

Couple of points:
1. I own an older model Oppo and have had no problems and have listened to the 103 & 105. Regarding online purchasing: Oppo is very good (or it was when I dealt with them) for customer service. I did not have problems with my unit, but did have a few questions. They answered promptly and in detail. Their customer service is very good, and one of the reasons I tried them in the first place. I wouldn't be too concerned about ordering online; more about supporting local dealers.
2. If you have any plans to use the Oppo DAC and have the budget, go with the 105. They have done a nice job incorporating the Sabre 9018 and the sound is superior to the 103. It also has a few other features that are worth it for the flexibility imo. It really punches above its weight.

That's the thing! The 95 uses the same Sabre 9018, it does not let you use it as a system DAC (not into that yet), have HDMI audio out (my receiver has no HDMI in) or support 4k video upscaling (I'm not even connecting to a TV!). I thought I could save a pile of money by scoring a used 95. But they must still be in high demand. I wish Oppo made a cheaper Audio only version like Marantz does with the SA8005; but I guess that wouldn't play DVD-A either.
