DVD Rippers are Cheap and CD Transports are Not -- Why?
I have an OPPO 103D and I love it.  I'm using it with a NAD M51 dac and it sounds great and plays virtually every type of media. I use it with Blu-ray concert discs, Blu-ray audio only, .wave, flac, cds, streaming Netflix ,  Pandora,  .....it is b... 
Is OPPO losing it's way?
I use the 103D with a M51 DAC and it's a kilier combo.  It's worth noting that I use the stereo analog outs for casual listening, mostly to take advantage of the remote volume...the M51 has volume control but I love the OPPO app on my tablet.   It...

First Watt F3 - Remote On/Off
HIThis may seem unconventional,  but just face the amp with the back facing you.... I have a pair of Quicksilver Middle Mono amps and  the power receptacle and switch are on one end the input and speaker terminalsystem are on the other end.     Id... 
NAD M51 vs C510
I have a M51 and its a great DAC....   I never used it as a pre but it is the best sounding "source" component I've ever owned.   It also has the best digital volume I've ever used.  In fact the only gripe I have is that it doesn't have some sort ...
