Oppo works fine for me (205) even if some think it's "crap" (very classy).
Please suggest a CD/streaming device for ~$2000
I am pretty out of touch.
I need to replace my Creek cd player. It was 20 years old. The new Creeks are over $5K, and I had a lot of trouble getting them to respond.
So not Creek, something around 2000, for streaming music, and playing my CDs occasionally. A company that has demonstrated staying power is important to me.
Thanks.

It’s got its own drive and internal storage so you can load all your CDs into it, an internal DAC, and it also streams. When funds allow you can buy a better DAC and have quite a nice setup IMHO. Just one option. Best of luck. |
A quick glance of the link I found https://www.google.com/search?q=stream+with+bdp-105&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS881US881&oq=stream+with+... says the OPPO sounds great, You get SACD/CD/Streaming in one unit, saving space and less cables/inputs needed, and only one purchase. But they say software to view/select your streaming music is not great. Reminder, I don’t stream, but the viewing format would be important if I did. OPPO user's experiences? |
I owned the Oppo BDP-105 a number of years (bought when I lived in Las Vegas). I thought it lacking for CDs but SACD playback was fine. Moved to Indianapolis and, magically, it started to sound GREAT playing CDs! Must be the extra humidity? Inexplicable. Sold to purchase my current BDP-205 which is another great Oppo. I've never heard any of the current "Mega DACs" thru my system. My system sounds just like music so how much better can they be? |
