Ideal way to set up the OPPO 105?


Hey,

I just ordered an Oppo 105 and am wondering which is the best way to set it up. External HD, USB Flash Drive, Laptop, ipod? Also, is it possible to control the digitized music with an ipod or iphone?

TIA

Marco1, I do wireless digital file playback via the OPPO 95. I find sound quality to be every bit as good as when playing the physical CD; however, the wireless connection does sometimes go south as Hgeifman says. Whether that is due to something inherent in my wireless signal or something inherent in the 95's networking implementation, I do not know.
I'm pretty fortunate in that normally I have a strong wireless signal throughout the house. Occasionally I'll drop the signal but not often enough to worry about it.

I was primarily wondering if sonically the signal might improve.

Thanks again everyone.
Klimt: You asked above about using MULTIPLE power-line adapters.

I just replaced my ASUS single port Ethernet over power-line connection with another device that provides 4 ports (Linksys Power-line AV 4-Port Network Adapter Kit, PLSK400, $60 from Fry’s). This enables me to plug in my Oppo 105 and Roku 3 direct with no switch box. This means each device has a direct connection (no switch box).

As you requested, the 4-port Linksys will enable you to plug in your computer, Oppo (for audio) and Samsung Blu-Ray player (connected to your flat screen). If needed, you have one remaining port.

Sorry to hijack, but please say more about how you get it to your 95 (I assume it's the same for the 105). I'm lucky enough to be hard-wired to the 'net, but I thought the only way to get high quality audio streamed to the Oppo was via the esata drive connection or a USB stick.
