Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination.

People forget one important thing. Oppo cannot create a 3-dimensional stage. Based on the fact that it does not own this property. We have client who owned the 105 and 205. We could proof that they are 2D products.

This is why they sold it. When you would use it as a transport you still will keep the same stage dna. You never can go to a 3D stage.

Audio is all about sound. And sound is being founded on diffeent properties. When you want to reveal all the details and properties of the recoding. You need an audiosystem what is capable of revealing all these details and layers.

But the Oppo cannot reveal all the 8 properties, due to the fact that is lacks different properties of sound. And what is missing will never be there.

 I think you may be surprised at the dynamic range of vinyl. You may find its range far exceeds digital."

uberwaltz,
     Are you serious?  Fortunately for all of us you are trying to mislead, the actual dynamic range of vinyl vs.digital is not a matter of opinion.  The dynamic range, as well as the frequency response range and noise levels,of both formats can be and have been scientifically measured.  Digital has been proven to be superior in all 3 measurements.

     , I understand the appeal of high quality vinyl playback and have no desire or intention of discouraging its usage.  I believe everyone should listen to whatever they prefer. 
     But I also believe there is no benefit of making the obviously and scientifically verifiable false statement you made..

A quick google search reveals at least as many claims to the contrary from scientific tests as you state.

I find plenty of articles "proving" which has more dynamic range swinging both ways. And of course it also all depends on your definition of dynamic range and how you test and measure it. This is an argument that has raged for decades!

Which is why I clearly stated "may" as it all depends on which articles you decide to believe, and how you interpret dynamic range.

No I am not going to bother to post any links but your assertion that my statement is completely untrue and factless is just not correct.

IMHO of course and no I am not going to waste time getting into a debate over it either.

Not that I want to get into a debate either, but in my subjective experience, I’ve found that records have always sounded more “open” and transparent than CDs.
And, as I’ve stated, there’s very little if any background noise on a clean record.

Let's not rehash that debate. 😂
