Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105...


I own a Oppo BDP 95 and was curious if it is worth the money to upgrade to the 105. Has anyone compared the two and can anyone explain the qualities and characteristics of the 105. Thx in advance.

Depends on your needs, really. The 105 now acts as a DAC and had HDMI inputs to boot. Plus it has 4k scaling among other items.

If any of those are needs then the 105 may be a good bet. But if you have your 95 and you are using it as a transport and using te analog out then the 105 may not be a high value upgrade.

Again it depends on needs you may or may not have. Check out hometheater.com for a review. Other sites are having reviews trickle in.
The 105 is my first Oppo purchase so can't compare it to the 95. What I can tell you is it performs very well as an audio grade DAC and preamp. Best stock digital volume control I've ever heard. It really is quite good. I’m using it with pair of the new Wyred 4 Sound Mamps and new Spatial Quantum field cables. I’ve never heard music this good at this price point. Nothing I’ve even experienced comes close.

I've been told by a dealer that the video gains are quite good, while the audio is about the same (2 channel). so as far as SACD performance is concerned i don't believe it has more to offer. the build quality is somewhat nicer, though.
so if the chassis is more solid it could cut down resonances.
