New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview

Like the 93, the 103's role is as a digital transport primarily so the analogue outputs/DAC section aren't as robust or as well designed as on the xx5 range.

@Hikmer, how was the 4k output though? Did you have any chance to compare it to the Sony S790's 4k upscaling?

One wonders if the Oppo 103 needs more time to break in before the bass develops properly. I haven't seen where bass is a problem for Oppos, generally speaking.

Oppo started shipping the BDP-105 last week.
Lots of info on AVSForum.

I have the Oppo BDP-103 and have yet to hear a CD on it. As for movies, I had no notion that my speakers could go that low with such authority and precision.

Time will tell if it's not up to snuff, audiophilically (did I just coin that one?) but for now I'm loving my movies.

All the best,
Nonoise

I just got a 103, the sound quality from SACD and CD surprised me. At first the sound was bright and grainy. After some hours it sounds very good to me. Very clear, imaging, dynamics and sound staging very good! For the price a true bargain in my book. Blue-Ray looks awesome. Now if the 105 sound is a little better It would probably beat out my 5K modded Sony!
