I’ve had the OppoBDP105D and the Cambridge Audio CXU in my system since Tuesday. They have been running 24/7. Here is my take.
Oppo...
Pro- The oppo has great mid and high frequencies.
Pro- USB, Optical, and Coax input (especially USB).
Pro- Balanced outputs.
Pro- Headphone outlet on front
Pro- Netflix/Vudu/Pandora software
Pro- 14 awg three prong grounded power cord- upgrade opportunity.
Con- The bass is a bit disconnected- it seems (((bloated))) at times.
.......................
Cambridge CXU
Pro- Music- plenty of detail and energy. Very musical.
Pro- Bass frequency is taught and frankly deeper and more in control over the Opp.
Con- No headphone output on front panel.
Con- No "stop disc" button on front of player.
Con- Two prong non grounded power cord- limited upgrade opportunity.
Con- Single ended outputs only
Con- No Netflix/Vudu/Pandora software
More to follow.
