OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality???


I'm looking for player that will play Blu-ray, SACD, DVD-audio and CD's.
That also sounds pretty great. I realize with a budget of $1K, I'm not going
to get Esoteric sound. But there must be "Universal" options
that sound pretty damn good? Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure about in the States, but in Melbourne, Australia I was able to purchase the Cambridge BD-752 brand new for half the RRP of the Oppo 105D. It was a no brainer at that price.

I personally prefer the BD-752, finding it more "musically involving" than the 105, which in limited listening was a bit too analytical and etched for my tastes.

The Oppo has a few extra features which I have no requirement for.

So if you can pick up a Cambridge at a good price that's the way I'd go.
Too bad this thread stalled out 2 years ago. About 6 months ago I found an iEC silver/Furutek Rhodium IEC wiring harness on ebaye that was a jaw dropping improvement. That led me to do an easy DIY swap out of the OEM board for a Linear Power Module

Amazing
FWIW, I have never put much stock in tweaks, or upgrades, believing that they are just snake oil. That was my error. I had my Denon 3520 (from the early 90’s) modded recently and it is like a new machine. I would never attempt upgrades myself but I do believe that tweaking, specifically updating older machines, makes good sense.
