| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? Beewax; I agree entirely with your comments concerning computer audio and DACs (newer is often better). However, this to my ears is not universally true; have you ever heard a McIntosh MC275 or Krell KSA-250 power amp? Similarly something like res... | |
| 20amp Power Cord for $18 I recently sold my refurbished (as good as new) KSA-250 power amp to a local audiophile. He replaced the original stock power cable with a $1,000 after market power cable (can't remember the name, I will find out if this is important to you) and g... | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? I use an Oppo 105 as a DAC in my computer audio system (MacBook Air, Audirvana Plus, Oppo 105 into a Krell HTS 7.1 as a volume control only, into a Krell TAS and B&W N801 speakers). The sound to my ears is spectacular, I could not be happier. ... | |
| Any Quad technicians? What happened to the original QUAD repair shop in the USA, QS&D? I have used them 3 times in the past and they were excellent. | |

| Local Cinema black level quality vs home Projector Black levels (absolute contrast ratio) is one of the important criteria I use when selecting video equipment. This is why my plasma TV is a Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-141FD (as good as they get IMHO) and my projector is a Sony VPL-VW85. Looking just a... | |
| Oppo BD 105, stand alone DAC, or music streamer I use an Oppo 105 as a DAC in my stereo and HT system. Stereo is mainly via computer audio through a MacBook Air running Aurdirvana Plus and 24/96 HDTrack files via USB into the Oppo. From the Oppo to a Krell HTS 7.1 (Analog, with the Krell just a... | |
| Best Hi-Res Audiophile Downloads Top 3 This is a good post, I will be interested to hear what other people have to say. Unfortunately, my own high res download collection is relatively small at present, so I don't really have a top 3. However, my favorite so far is the HDTracks 24/96 v... | |
| Remarkable New Vintage Audio Store in Austin, TX I know where I am heading the next time I go to Austin. Thanks for the heads-up Butterking. | |

| BD Player Oppo and UpConversion I agree with the previous post. In fact this is what I do; I use an Oppo 105 to perform the audio decoding to analog 5.1 into a Krell HTS 7.1 and direct HDMI feed (video only) from the Oppo to a Sony VPL-VW85 projector. The Krell HTS 7.1 is just a... | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 How about an Oppo 105? Also includes a superb USB DAC and plays blu-ray disc just about better than anything else on the market (according to various reviews and my own experience that is). | |
