hmmm? oppo 105d content

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....

Send it to John Tucker at Exemplar Audio for his upgrade. It will become world class player! I own one and it is simply amazing and very very musical sounding.

Thanks...thankful...it really is sounding pretty impressive for what it is right now...got to give it prop's.

You should consider the Modwright Truth Mod. It takes the 105 to a whole new level, which could never be called "lean."

Have you tried computer audio ripping your CDs and playing them thru USB output into the digital USB input on the Oppo as DAC?. Granted, choices of software and cable make a difference, but in general this idea will drastically reduce jitter and produce better results with the same music (ripped files vs. same on disc).

Running a laptop with free trial software might be worth a try before you change to another CD player. Cheers,
