Need a new BD player, region free

Hello jafreeman,

     Thanks for the congrats, it's well worth the extra $700 to me.  All the current hi-end players I was considering and researching were missing one or more of the Oppo's features, such as analog surround outputs for up to 7.1 surround channels, they couldn't play SACD audio discs and they couldn't play DVD video discs.  Lucky, I actually wasn't even searching for a 205, since I thought they'd all be asking $3K or more, and I just stumbled on the one I bought.


I'm happy and relieved,
        Tim
 

hello

i have a Oppo BDP-103

i use this to connect to a 6tb external hard drive with movies and 24/192 flac. music files that the Oppo plays.  the audio is sent via the coax output to a high quality separate DAC.  recently i tried hooking the Oppo player up to the internet to access Tidal hi-res music service.  i see the Tidal icon on the Oppo OSD.  but it will not open to the browser.  
is their something else you can recommend?

objectives are:
1.  access to external hard drive for music and video files all formats via USB
2.  access to internet hi-res music services
3.  controllable via a iPhone or tablet
4.  HDMI output to monitor
5.  PCM coax output

thank you

Hello jag,

     For Tidal, I 'd suggest you go to their site online and signup for a subscription or a free limited trial period.  I believe Tidal will then download their software to your computer and Oppo 103 to activate the service and you'll just need to click on your existing icon or a new one they'll download.  If you have any problems, the site will direct you to their support team.
     It'd also be a good idea to read your manual to gain familiarity with the exact Oppo protocol.

Good luck,
Tim
