Dusty Chalk Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Do you have an iPod classic? I wouldn't mind knowing what the interface was like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Doug Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Have you tried the netflix application? Is it as clean and responsive as the other features? I single this one out, because this functionality is an afterthought to even the biggest names in a/v, despite otherwise superb products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 netflix works great on both my appletv and my sony bluray player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Doug Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 It sucked on my Roku, and it sucks on my Marantz player... I may just give up and get a TV with netflix capability (good excuse for a new screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvlgato Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Do any of you have an XBox or PS3 and still get the Oppo because it's that much better for media playing? Netflix is fine on my Roku. I wonder if it's your bandwidth , either download speed, or network speed? I had problems until I upgraded my network.

cutestory Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have a PS3 that I've been using as a Blu-ray/Vudu/SACD player, and it'll be nice to go back to using it almost exclusively as a gaming machine. I also have a homemade XBMC (openelec) nettop I use for local media playback. I'll be glad to have the new Oppo (arriving Tuesday!) as a dedicated Blu-ray player; but I'm sure it won't be able to compete with the XBMC for the local media stuff. I have too many boxen in general and I'm trying to streamline, but I haven't found the One True Media Playback solution that doesn't involve Windows (I'm mostly talking about Blu-ray-sourced MKVs and ISOs with high resolution audio). I have a Dune player, but the menus are is a PITA to update. I have a Boxee Box, but the high resolution audio playback is crap. I love openelec, but I may just have to switch to Windows XBMC and an nvidia settop because the high res audio stuff apparently works. Ack.

Eric5676 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I just prefer having a standalone for a number of reasons even if there were no extras. This Oppo 103 is certainly a superior piece of kit to the PS3 across the boards anyways. Edited October 1, 2012 by Eric5676 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purk Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Any speculation whether the 105 will sound better than the 95? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric5676 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Any speculation whether the 105 will sound better than the 95? I can guarantee it thanks to the high end analog soundstage and outputs including balanced options. If you need high quality analog audio output, 105 all the way. In addition to a DAC, a headphone amp, an all out pre-amp...and oh yeah, it'll play discs, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 There is a 2010 group near me for $900. I have no idea if this is a good deal or not but thought I would pass it on. http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/bik/3310057541.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 That was meant for the bike thread, needless to say. Bikes do rule. Did I mention, I'm on the pre-order list or whatever it is for the 105. I love my 95 but being able to use it as a standalone dac makes it worth the extra $200 over what the 95 cost.

You'll be able to flip and sell your 95 for a surprisingly good value if that's what you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutestory Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 This thing (the 103) is lightning quick, btw. The first Blu-ray player I've had that loads discs faster than my PS3. I also like the dedicated Vudu and Netflix buttons (I use Vudu a lot). Haven't really made any in-depth observations yet; I've just barely had time to plug the thing in...I'm also interested in checking out the video scaling features (I plugged in my XBMC into the rear HDMI input.) I'll report back when I've had more time with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 x2. I sold my 95 in anticipation. I was concerned the price may drop on them once the 105 is released. Vinyl will hold me over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recstar24 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 103 - team less stuff inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 My 103 came in Thursday. It is real snappy - the loading time is impressive. The hdmi input and upscaling/deinterlacing of my Comcast box is actually better than I expected. I thought I wouldn't see a difference but even on my lowly panny g25 it's definitely a cleaner picture, less noise, and looks smoother. Avatar and dark knight looked great but the 83 was no slouch. I'm going to see how it handles the Apple TV and my random iPad stuff using the front hdmi input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric5676 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Love my 103. Anyone going to take a plunge on a 105? I'm going to be interested to see what people think of its headphone amp and pre-amp capabilities among other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
