[Beefalo]

The seller lowered the price again...I wonder if they know that the search function is not helping sell the item I bet you could get that one for $850 with some negotiation...only 7 watching..

There's another one. Buy it now or best offer

Question for Oppo 105 users
I'm considering purchase of a back up Oppo player. I play several hundred home brewed DVD-A. These discs and DSOTM quad will not play on my Sony X-800.
I currently own an Oppo 203 but am a little paranoid that at some point Oppo will no longer repair these.
I use HDMI out on the Oppo. My AVR doesn't have analog inputs. The parametric EQ on my AVR is able to individually adjust each output channel. Plus I get room correction and bass management.
I can't see any reason I would ever use analog outputs on my back up player or value a player with a better DAC.
So the question is: Should I purchase a used Oppo 105 or 103.

If you want an easy way to rip SACDs, an Oppo 103 or 105 is a great way to go.

Do the 103 and/or 105 have the ARC feature? If so, that would allow for decoding of streamed HD audio for those with legacy receivers/processors.

No, but they do have two HDMI inputs, so if you can spare the ARC port on your TV, you could connect it to one of the 103/105(D)'s inputs and use its decoders, processors, and DACs to output up to 7.1 channel surround sound over RCA. This can be done headless using the remote to select the appropriate HDMI input, which will be displayed on the front of the unit.

They do have ARC but I have never used it. I have 4 devices connected via HDMI using a 3 port switch. Works great with Harmony hub remote.

This "guide" answers a lot of questions about the Oppo's...if you look to the right you can find a link for the 103

What exactly do you mean by this?

Edit...TV with built in smart features? With no other audio output available, ARC would definitely be needed.

Take a look at my initial post on page 1 of this thread. It describes in detail how it works...almost black magic. Lol

Well this is a good indication how many actually want a 105...I predict the winner will be bidder 134...over $900

How about this 95 with 17 people watching!

I don't know anything about the 95s; at that price wouldn't a 103 be or even a 105 be much better though?

will someone come out of the shadows and snatch it from bidder 134...or will he gut it out until the end...around the 10 minute mark now..I can feel the tension in the air

Bidder 134 "choked" at the 8 second mark...he lost...$985 was the winner

I have the 105 (not D) and the price on the Oppo web site was $1200. I bought a refurbished one (still working perfect) & I don't remember exactly the cost but I think it was a bit under $1k. So while $985 is a goodly chunk 'o change it seems a reasonable price for something like a 105D even if used.

If you USE the analog connections...any of the Oppo 5's are good....I agree that was a reasonable price...for NOW....the market dictates the value...just supply and demand...there is more demand than supply...now THIS is unrealistic
