Addicted to music Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) @:) al If you're interested I can bring the 105 to do a direct compare with the 2 channel. My 105 is in stock form, no modifications. I'm just interested in how much the 205 has brought to the SQ.

desray Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 You have had a reply...I was driving to Malaysia and out for dinner there, so give some respect please before you complain about this or that. Don't expect an immediate reply just because you sent a message and I didn't reply immediately...people have other things on that are outside of your control too. SLT is also out station and I will chase this up yet again when I am back. I'm as disappointed as you are. I have no control over SLT's staff, so have to rely on what I am told has or hasn't been done, and only act accordingly when I hear something hasn't happened. This is the first I have heard you or whoever got your set hasn't received anything. As I am outstation without my computer I don't have the mo spreadsheet with me so cannot check the specific details until I get back. Bro Wiz, I believed uelover is just a bit concerned that for too long he have yet to receive the hardcopy sale invoice. I'm sure he didn't mean any disrespect. uelover, I think SLT staff is to be blamed for their oversight...there is nothing Wiz can do anything about it. Please let Wiz check for you when he returned. I'm sure even w/o the hardcopy receipt, if anything wrong with the Oppo player, SLT will still honor the warranty. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just interested in how much the 205 has brought to the SQ. sure no probs could be interesting. though something will have to wait a little while still as concentrating on a few other things just yet. but would be great to explore. and likely of interest to others as well. so will give you a yell when ready. i'll say this from the outset... I would not be flabbergasted if the difference is so small or not discernible. infact I'm likely going to be more surprised if there is massive gains to be made. I tend to like to go into these things with little to no expectations and rather be pleasantly surprised 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I didn't mean any disrespect to anybody, and I am anxious to make sure that everything are in good order. If I could do that without troubling anyone (i.e. to contact SLT myself), I would.

Hence I stepped in to post my comments before it blown out of proportion. U can rest assured wiz will help u in this regard. I can vouch for him that he's a true gentleman. The problem lies with SLT, not wiz and not you. Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunter Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I am kinda interested in getting a UDP 205 but am wondering about the picture quality. Can anyone say for sure that the 205 offers better quality than the 203 ? I ask his because i have seen a technical review comparing the 203 with the Panasonic DMP-UB900 which suggests that the Panasonic is better in every regard. Thanks, if anyone can answer.

Saunter Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Ok, so if i want to maximise picture quality i am better off with the Panasonic. However if wanted a universal player capable of decent music disk playback the 205 is a good option. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronildoq Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Oppo has enabled Dolby Vision with its latest beta firmware. Nice........ been waiting for this, i have tested some of the Dolby Vision files, doesnt work on the Oppo 203. Only works when plugged directly to the TV's USB port. But not a fan of beta firmware. will wait patiently for the official release, shouldn't be far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman1503561291 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just reading this from Flatpanel and Oppo has a beta version for DV which includes the Sharpening Adjustment of the Oppo. Huumm It might be as good as the Panna when it comes to the Sharpening bit. Won't be long before we know if it as Sharp as the Pana or this is another gimmick. http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1496051125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman1503561291 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This bit is interesting as it seems DV Movies will get some extra scenes if you have a DV TV If my Scattered Brain reads it correctly Read Below Sony Pictures has announced that it’s going to start supporting the advanced Dolby Vision version of high dynamic range (HDR) technology on Ultra HD Blu-ray releases from as early as July. The first Sony film to get the Dolby Vision 4K Blu-ray treatment will be Resident Evil: Vendetta, which is set to ship on July 18. Including Dolby Vision’s unique layer of dynamic metadata on top of an industry standard HDR10 transfer (which will still play on TVs that don’t support Dolby Vision) means that compatible TVs will receive extra scene by scene instructions tailored to their capabilities to help them continually optimize the way the picture looks. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2017/05/02/sony-pictures-names-and-dates-its-first-dolby-vision-ultra-hd-blu-ray/#1fcb10362b05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoggieHowser Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Quote receive extra scene by scene instructions tailored to their capabilities to help them continually optimize the way the picture looks Not extra scenes I Imagine.

Guest Sime Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I just bought the SACD of Brothers in Arms finally, thought owning the 205 would be a great time to finally get it, and I'd have to admit, the DSD two channel sounds way smoother with the Oppo's DAC with XLR than my Remastered CD rip playing on my Node2 with the 2qute. The 5.1 mix is weird after hearing that album in 2 channel all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
