Exemplar Modified Oppo 93?

Yes, I heard it against my Meridian 808 and was very impressed.

I have heard both the Exemplar/Oppo 93 and 95. I find both great, but the 95 is clearly superior. Were I to have a player, I would certainly buy the 95. Presently, I have no capability to play my SACDs, but I find a music server very convenient and with better sound than even the 93, but I have not tried the 95 against it.

Interesting! John Tucker told me the modified 93 was better than the modified 95, but that was a year ago or so.

Jfz, I was told that also a year ago, but this was not what I heard at the 2012 CES.

Both the 93 and 95 are great players.

The 93 has that "see through" sound that John Tucker is noted for. A very musical presentation with lots of detail. I'd put it up against virtually any player, it's a strong performer.

But as good as the 93 is, the 95 is better. Better base, and a realism in the midrange that is incredible. But that in no way diminishes the 93.
