The Stranglers – Aural Sculpture

I'm looking forward to hearing the DSHA-2 when it's finished. Will the power supply be the same as in the previous amps?

The White Stripes – De Stilj Cat Stevens – Tea for the Tillerman

Verve – Unmixed

Faith No More – Angel Dust

Orbital – In Sides

I can't stand the way they look (the flagship models). That price is truly terrifying.

Yes – 90125 Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here

Vampyros Lesbos – Manfred Hübler and Siegfried Schwab

Talk Talk – The Colour of Spring

Hilary Gardner – The Great City

Imelda May – Mayhem (Irish rockabilly!)

Huh. And I had just decided on FLAC this morning...

Foreigner - 4

I have to agree. This thread is one of the highlights of my day.

The Cardigans – First Band on the Moon

I'm not liking the price, either. Considering the state of Sony's finances, I guess they're cashing in on their somewhat distinguished audio heritage for fast bucks... no proprietary ATRAC on this puppy.

Blur – Parklife

Here's a review where they compare the stock vs. a ModWright "Truth" unit: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/modwright-oppo-bdp-105-with-truth-modifications/ The comparison with the Esoteric player was a nice bonus. Now I'd like a comparison of the Audiocom vs. the Modwright vs. the Arcam UDP411 one of the commenters mentions. I'm glad to hear that the DAC and clock in the stock unit are considered top-notch, in addition to the Oppo's reference-quality video processing. I wonder if Oppo buys samples of the modded players for R&D in their upcoming products.
