hmmm? oppo 105d content

"Marantz 8005 owners/or otherwise please give me a reason."

Do you already have the 8005, or are you thinking about getting one?

No zd...I read review of both a/b and guy went with Marantz...Just had a fuller sound to him (I forget how he phrased)...Don't get me wrong,the 105 does sound good...It has it's attributes...that the sim didn't have for me...Had sim products (players) for the last ten years...the equinox,i5.3.
when I posted...my calculations were wrong on burin...at about 370hrs now.
I also have to keep in mind that my sim at the time cost considerably more...

If you need a CD player, then buy a CD player. The Oppo is known to be a good all around player for many formats. If you don't use them then you're paying for features you don't need. What's the rest of your system?

Every out fit I talked to went straight to the the oppo 105 recommendation.even if it wasnt multi player rec. format...agreed w/your thinking...got some time left think about it.

well I auditioned a Rega Apollo today (in my system)...I wanted so much for it to wow me...the oppo gets the nod for me....
