Played ADELE and Rihanna in bluray. Then Norah Jones and Bon Jovi in SACD. The Oppo BDP-105 have a slight advantage in video. Feels like real life or should I say 3D like. The sound loses to Mcintosh MVP-891. Oppo tends to sound like shouting but not overly bright. Mcintosh MVP-891 video seems dark. Some background noise in picture is noticeable. The sound OMG is amazing. Clean, crisp and warm. IMHO if you value picture more, I suggest go with Oppo and if you value sound more, Mcintosh is the one.

Both ran XLR frey 2 to the preamp. Both ran Audioquest Chocolate HDMI direct to the TV. Hope this help answer your question.
