OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet?


I have had mine for about a week now and wow it's pretty impressive. The remote has to be aimed right at the player to work. The sound from the balanced outputs seems great, nice tonal balance from top to bottom. Blue-ray's seem to sound the best so far, SACD's are nice. I don't think for the money it can be beat and the video is stunningly good for me anyway, much better than the PS3. The audio is also much better than the PS3 for whatever that is worth, although mine(PS3) will play SACD's I think a real SACD player is better.

Mine did a software update right away when I hooked it up to the network.

I'm sure there will be improvements coming but I like the sheer convenience of having a player that plays it all. I have this one in a strictly 2 channel system, has anyone used the various surround set-up's yet?

I have been enjoying mine very much for the past month or so. It sounds terrific!
Suggest you do a search here, as there have been quite a few comments already on other threads. Also suggest you search at avsforum.com and audioasylum.com
The BDP-93 is much better because of the dac chips used. The same as with the 83 versus the 83SE.
I was impressed when it beautifully played 88/24 flac files that were downloaded from HDTracks on to a USB memory stick. Cool! Initially, the free demonstration songs were downloaded, but I needed to listen to something familiar to make a better judgement so I purchased Diana's "Boy from Impanema". It was gorgeous! Floating in the air.

Hello Tbg. Can you expand, please. All analog parts can be upgarded but certainly not the D/A chip....

Also, does anybody know if "95" USB input is based on asyncronius transfer and can it play 24/192 files?

Thanks
