PFKMan23 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 That looks fun. The places that have prices listed or speculated have it at just under 1k ($975 or so). Should be intriguing how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolink24 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just what we need, another Sabre chip device for HF to explode over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Looks good - I'm looking forward to some objective reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just what we need, another Sabre chip device for HF to explode over. to be fair it's also very universal. bluray, sacd, DVD-a, hdcd, and hirez flac (even multichannel flac). and less then a grand, from a company known for quality on the cheap. true digital input not withstanding, it's the source I've always wanted.

Pretty much. Of course with anything you're going to get fanboys/insanity, but this actually has the workings of somethin that's pretty sound, atleast on paper anyways.

The Monkey Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 How is the BDP-93? (Aside from being 2 less...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 2.105263% worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSeibert Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I got an email saying the the BDP-93 was shipping. In time for Christmas, sort of. Still waiting for the 7000-series Marantz, which has slipped, what, four months? By the time it's non-vapor, the Oppo will be there, too. Could be interesting.

Asr Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 This player has everything I want, except it's not silver, dammit! How come Oppo doesn't make gear in silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Me like black. Silver only has been happening too often lately. Just wish there was a spdif input. Otherwise this is great. Looking forward to Audioholics future positive review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padam Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Now I wonder, would the USB / eStata drive or LAN input provide identical performance to disc playback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Didn't Oppo used to make silver units? I swear some of their older upscaling DVD players were silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigiPete Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 So I wonder if this unit upconverts Redbook and other formats to 192/96/32bit?? or is there any upconversion going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric5676 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 order'd. I'm still having the same fence sitting argument with myself about how nothing's wrong with my 83, etc. blah blah blah but I am thinking about it. I take it you had one of those emails, too?

I take it you had one of those emails, too? If I already had a decent source I probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger. Having said that, the 95 really is the source I've been waiting for. Plays all the physical formats, including HDCD, and even plays hi-rez flac files! This way I can sell my squeezebox touch and just keep a thumb drive I load up on my PC with a couple albums I want to listen to that day. Also important, its right in my price range. Its the perfect mid-fi source for my needs, and I anticipate it being the last source type purchase I'll make for a very very long time. hell maybe ever, so long as it works. I don't see any new physical formats coming out anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
