Oppo BDP-105 vs Mcintosh MVP-891

Dopogue,

Interesting! I have a Raysonic 128 too and I like it a lot. I have wondered about upgrading my current Oppo 83 and getting the Oppo 105. I am interested to hear about your evaluation of the ModWright Oppo 105 vs. the Raysonic.

Hi Finsup. After having it for a whole day and a half, can confidently
say the Oppo/Modwright is a winner :-)

Seriously, it already sounds great to me and yes, defeats the Raysonic
-- my favorite for some 6 years -- pretty handily. I'm not ready to
declare it king of the hill for CDs. I mean, after a day and a half? But
I'm pretty confident at this point, And the tube-rolling potential is
awesome, if you're into that kind of thing.

Parenthetically, I found that 6H23n-EB tubes sounded the best in the
Raysonic of any I tried over the years. And if you're keeping the
Raysonic, you might pick up a spare Sony laser unit while they're
available and cheap.

I have an Oppo BDP-83SE too and never thought it sounded all that
great on SACDs, let alone CDs. So far, the modded 105 does
everything right.

S1nn3r; what did u use for power conditioning. If nothing; your comments are not quite so valuable.

Ptss, Used Quantum QB8 with Nordost Valhalla. Both ran XLR frey 2 to the preamp. Both ran Audioquest Chocolate HDMI direct to the TV. Hope this help answer your question.
