High Quality Universal Player??

Oppp 105D or 105. using oneboard DAC for CD, SACD playback. If you prefer Tidal, using IPad App to control the OPPO. Sound super.

I thought the Cambridge used the Oppo 105 guts with a slightly different out put stage? at least that's what the dealer told me. maybe i'm getting the models mixed up.

CA and Oppo both use the Mediatek chipsets.

How good of a system would one need to be able to appreciate the difference in 2 channel analog out sound quality between the Oppo BDP-103 and BDP-105D? Is it obvious on a reasonable good 2 channel receiver such as a Yamaha RS300 with some Polk towers; or do you need McIntosh separates and Sonus Fabers?

And is the 105D 2.6 times better?

unh... not a fan of McIntosh (except the looks and build quality)

a quantitative assessment is impossible, esp. to 0.1 level

now... Oppo has a wonderful 30 trial policy and it is very fair - you only pay shipping one way

also, they are working on new players

and as a universal player, it will handle video too

you might want to do what I am doing - assembling some program material to really test things carefully

e.g. rip 2 copies of a favorite CD; you will put one copy on each player with a few seconds time lag on one of them and then listen to the exact same passage twice - right after the other one

for material, I usually pick female vocals, something with snare drums (listen for that first impulse 'hit') and high quality recordings/mastering

e.g. I use the famous jazz at the Pawnshop for part of it, even tho it is not my favorite jazz
