Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?


Curious to know if anyone out there has purchased the Oppo BDP-95 soely on its merit as a dedicated two channel audio source? If so, how does it stack up comparatively speaking. Thanks

I have a BDP-95 that serves double duty as my 2 channel audio and video system are one in the same. Currently the 95 is stock until I decide to do my own mods to it. It is not only an excellent sounding CD/SACD player, but an excellent Blu Ray Player as well. It also does a great job with up converting standard DVD's.
You will have to spend several times the cost of the BDP-95 to better the sound it is capable of!
Thanks to all for your responses, appreciate the insight. Based on what I'm hearing, it sounds like if the Oppos' not modded, and/or there is no intent on making use of its video capabilities, a better choice could be made by going with any one of the number of quality dedicated audio high performance players available.
Don't take what Freediver said lightly. Modding it won't improve it a whole lot. It's pretty well all there.
Oppo 95 mods are menu driven, i.e., you pay for what you want. The all-out, no holds barred analog and digital mods from EVS, for example, including the $400 Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX and EVS's super duper clock - runs around $1800. Less than twice the cost of the Oppo 95. That's for the Full Monty. If video is not a high priority, the cost of modding can be reduced significantly.
