Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE

This should be interesting. My OPPO Nuforce 93NE went back for warrenty work. While it is at Nuforce I decided to have the NE board changed to the NXE board. I decided on this rather than spending the $500 upgrade to an external dac. I just didn't want another box and wires...I'll be curious to see what I hear with the new board. WIll post when I've had a chance to play and burn the unit in when it is back.

Quick update. Received the Nuforce 93 NXE today and am now burning it in. FIrst impressions. Alex Dondysh[hope I spelled that right] has to be a music lover. He designed the NE board which I loved but this NXE board is on a whole other level....reminds me of My Roxan Zerxes..a continuous flow of musical pleasure...more later...Oh, yes this is seriously fine...more later...cheers, lloyd

Well, I've listened to this unit for about 18 hrs. I prefer to listen and breakin at the same time. But I just had to comment on how deep into the bass this unit goes in my system in my room. This is rivaling my Roxan Zerxes in bass quality. CD has never produced this sheer quality of bass here. You can hear the wonderful rich tones of bowed string intruments. I swear I can hear the foot movements on kick drums on one recording. Before I was assuming it was electric bass...Nope!Pianos are very natural. Voices are excellent. I've heard Mary Gauthier for the very first time and the hair stands up. Her voice suffers pain and ache but compells you to listen. Now this is in my system...YMMV. But this is a serious step up from the NE IMO...cheers, lloyd

Just a question: did it take you this time between posts to receive your warrantied unit back again?

Hi, Operatenore. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. There was a hold up at the border and I had to fax additional paperwork for the machine to clear into the US.(this was not my fault or Oppo or Nuforce). I shipped Fedex ground and once in the US it was very good. At Nuforce the warrenty part was replaced at the OPPO facility, the unit tested and firmware updated, and than sent back to Nuforce where the board was exchanged from the NE to the NXE. Turnaround at the OPPO facility was quick. Nuforce kept me in the loop throughout e-mailing me as each step happened. Nuforcer returned the unit by Fedex[shipping on Monday and I received it Thursday(a lot quicker through customs on the way back,) go figure....All in all I was pleased and very happy with the unit. You would not have this difference in time in the States....hope this answers your question. The delays were not the fault of OPPO or Nuforce, both of whom were very good. cheers, lloyd
