Hello folks, Did anyone have a chance to compare UDP 900 to Oppo UDP 205 from the perspective of both Video and Audio?  Thanks      
Power Cord for DAC
I have a Bricasti M12 DAC and I use the Audio Sensibility Signature power cable. It sounds very open and neutral to my ears. I was using Nordost Frey II power cable prior to using the Audio Sensibility power cable and it sounded much better than t... 
Streamer vs. new mac mini for 2 channel system
Recently I have done some testing with LPS (Keces P8) connecting it to Nucleus Plus, audiophile switch Etherregen and I have mixed results. It worked very well with Nuclues Plus but not so much with the audiophile switch Etherregen. But I am still... 
Streamer vs. new mac mini for 2 channel system
That is very correct @sns. That is also why I didn't move in the direction of upgrading my MacMini. Instead I got a purpose built music server Roon Nucleus Plus to replace the MacMini. However the MacMini performance in the way I was using was not... 
Streamer vs. new mac mini for 2 channel system
@tvad-  You can try Keces P8 Linear Power supply or Uptone Audio JS-2 Linear Power Supply. Either one would work but the stock MacMini 2012 model needs an internal power supply upgrade to be able to use the 12V Linear Power Supply input. The Upton...

Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205
Hello unsound,Yes this unit supports Dolby Vision through the main HDMI out. The Oppo’s manual doesn’t specify what exactly is supported on its HDMI IN input. I don’t understand why Apple TV doesn’t show the Dolby Vision in the video output menu w... 
Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205
Hello unsound,I agree with you on Oppo's video processing capability which is indeed the very best. However I am using the HDMI Bypass input of Oppo which allows me to set up the Apple TV video display as Dolby Vision instead of 4K UHD. I don't ge... 
Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205
Hello unsound,Thanks for your feedback. Yes Apple TV connected through Oppo’s HDMI input works fine. However the picture quality of it when connected directly to Sony TV is comparatively better. But the audio output using this approach is way bett... 
Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205
Hello dweller,Thanks for your reply. Your suggested combination works in my set up but I don't want to keep an additional component in the chain just for getting the audio out. I am trying to reduce the clutter in the existing set up without compr...
