Ideal way to set up the OPPO 105?

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.

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.

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.

My PC is in a bedroom. My stereo setup (including my Oppo 95) is in my living room at the other end of my house. I stream digital audio files that are stored on my PC's harddrive wirelessly to the Oppo 95. The 95 comes with a "wireless adapter" as does the 105. I have the wireless adapter plugged into the USB port on the front of the 95. This enables the 95 to communicate with my Comcast router, which is a wireless model located in the same bedroom as my PC. My PC is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable (although this connection could also be handled wirelessly if I wanted to do that). On the PC I have the JRiver software installed with all my digital audio files imported into a JRiver library. On an Android tablet I have Oppo's "Media Control" app (for the 95) installed. When I want to use the Oppo to play music that's stored on the PC, I must have the JRiver application running on the PC. I then use the "Media Control" app on the Android tablet to select what I want to play. (Note: There are two different "Media Control" apps, one for 9x series Oppo models and a different one for 10x series models. So when downloading the app from Google, it's important to pay attention to downloading the correct one.) Overall, my experience with the arrangement I've just described has been good; however, the wireless connection does sometimes fail. If there is a sufficient hiccup in the wireless connection, all of a sudden it will sound like the music playback is "skipping". When this happens, I must stop the playback, close and restart the Media Control app, and select again.

Incidentally, there is one more potential twist that I should have mentioned because it's a relevant difference between the 9x series Oppo and the 10x series models. The 10x model is classified as a "DLNA player" and as a "DLNA renderer" whereas the 9x model is only a "DLNA player". Since I don't have a 105, I have not tested it, but my understanding is that the "renderer" capability of a 105 would allow me, if I had a 105, to use the JRiver on my PC to control playback thereby eliminating my current need to use the "Media Control" Android tablet app.

Gz3827, thanks for the response.

However, I'm IOS based, not Android. I'll have to see if iTunes can communicate in a seamless manner with the 95.

Good stuff.
