Repair or Replace ???

Ptss-

the Oppo is only as good as its price-point (non-modded).
There is no way it could compete w/ a Levinson nor Esoteric
at x3-4 the cost. Ultimately, get one and try it in your system, no harm in that, and eval how it performs.

I will give props to the Oppo because it is a true "universal" machine. It is not expected to get all of those physical formats absolutely "right".

As a purist, I prefer several machines (CD/SACD, DVD/BR) to get my physical media "right". If you are on a budget or simply prefer 1-stop shopping, then the Oppo could be your next spinner. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

It did take me over 400 hrs of solid burnin to get er right though...fwiw...

I think you have to divide it into two components, the transport and the DAC. I had the 95, and certainly preferred my Simaudio Moon Nova to the Oppo, but it was close. I now have a combination of a 103 and a Audio-gd Master 7 DAC. I still prefer the Nova, but the difference is marginal. I suspect that the narrowing of the gap is that I prefer the 1704 DAC's of the Nova and the Master 7.

You might want to try out the 105. If you don't like it, the resale value is pretty good.

Hi Jafant. Did you note I said from 2008, that's 7 years ago.Tks

I have a Simaudio Eclipse, and it really sounded good. Transport broke and cost only? $1160 incl shipping both ways. The player was about $5500 new in late 2002, really high build quality. I am thinking of the oppo BD105d but I think the CD section will be inferior to the Eclipse. BUT I will have some functionality I did not have earlier. I would like to play youtube on my system, but I don't know if the oppo will let me do that. Thanks!
