Guest Sime Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 @TerryO I'm using XLR's also, it's very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonefishing999 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I have Oppo 105 And XLR is much better than RCA . I know other on here have made comments there is no difference but the sabre Dac 9018 and 9038 output balanced from the dac. these are 8 channel dac but have 2 dacs per channel 1 for hot 1 for cold plus earth or shield this is full differential balanced . Single ended RCA only 1 of the 2dacs one acts as earth. To get the best sound quality out of the Oppo's is to use Hdd or network streaming . DO NOT use it as a disc spinner as the laser is meant for BLU-RAY ,SACD and not for red book CD .

That's a bummer, my main use would be DAC and CD, all my bluray are on nas drive. Oh well back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well back to the drawing board. No need for concern, as per the Oppo website, this player can play anything https://www.oppodigital.com.au/products/oppo-udp-205-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player-black That mention of not supporting CD replay is pure bollocks Just scroll down to almost the bottom of the page under the heading "Diversified Media Support " Edit: it is even mentioned at the top of the overview page just above "where to buy" and the price Edited May 16, 2017 by rantan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantan Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) @gonefishing999 No problem mate. It was never my intention to offend. However you did post that the 205 should not be used for cd playback and the main reason I posted from the website was to allay the concerns of prospective buyers Edit: I understand that you won't be using it for CD replay ,as is your right. You could use it as a door stopper and being yours you can use it as you see fit. Just about all others will want CD replay and it is important that they are aware of this device's capabilities Edited May 16, 2017 by rantan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonefishing999 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 @rantan I was not referring to what media the 205 can play . I said I have a 105 and just share what I know about getting the best out of Oppo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 105,which is entirely different to the 205 and in fact, the 205 is optimised for music replay and will be far better on music replay than yours. This is also the big difference between the two You do whatever you want, but its best not to provide confusing information for those people considering a purchase Edited May 16, 2017 by rantan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonefishing999 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 @Sime JUST TRY IT!!!!! and post your results please . I have been using Oppo's since March 2011 after trying Hdd instead of CDs I will never go back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sime Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 @gonefishing999 but, you made mention of the laser assembly and you stated in capitals, not to play cd's. this tells anyone who reads it, like I did, that cds were going to damage the laser assembly. I didn't believe it, simply because it's bollocks, but I wanted to know how you would come up with such an idea. Now if if the player sounds terrible with cd's, that's another matter. But in this situation, it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
