Oppo streaming capabilities

Hi everybody,

I'm in the market for a bluray player and I'm thinking about an Oppo. I also have a Squeezebox and a Sony media streamer for Netflix, etc. I discovered that the Sony streamer can see the Logitech Media Server software and I'm wondering if the latest Oppos can stream music content from a home network using UPnP streaming software such as LMS. It would be nice to reduce the box/remote count if the Oppo can stream my music content over the network.

As a related aside, does anyone know the differences in network capability between the BDP-93/95 and the BDP-103/105?

Thanks

I use the Oppo 105 as a movie streamer. I set it up to play movies via SMB/CIFS preferred and DLNA when JRiver is active.
The only issue with SMB/CIFS is the network must be fast. No 10MPS devices or switches allowed. The source computer or NAS and the Oppo must be connected directly to the router other wise there are video motion problems. As soon as the SACD streaming is available I will try that for 5.1 playback with the Oppo.
I use a dCS for 2 channel playback and it is much better than the Oppo.

I am still digitizing my BR & DVD movies so have not had time to check out all options with the Oppo. It is a lot better at all things than my 85 or 95 were.

DSD streaming works fine. Has worked for months now.

If I upgrade to Pandora One ($36 per year) will my Oppo 105 Blu-Ray player stream music at 192k as provided by Pandora One (service upgrade option)? It makes no sense to upgrade to Pandora One if the Oppo 105 will not handle 192k streaming.

Pandora reports that 192k streaming is not available on Blu-Ray players like the OPPO 105. From Pandora, the specs regarding audio quality on Pandora are:

Free Pandora is 64k AAC+ on the web.

Pandora One subscribers get the option of 192k MP3 on the Web and when using the AIR Desktop App.

Most Home-listening devices get 128k MP3 – whether the account is free or paid.

Cell phones get anywhere from 24k to 64k in mono or stereo, depending on the phone, carrier, connection type, and in some cases the user setting.

"The primary benefit of upgrading to Pandora One is no commercials. As of now, most in-home devices, including the OPPO 105, stream audio at 128 kbps whether or not your account is upgraded or not. The primary feature of upgrading your account is to remove all ads from your playlists".

As far as I know, the answer to your question is yes. Take a look at this article: http://www.audioholics.com/blu-ray-and-dvd-player-reviews/oppo-blu-ray-q-a
