I currently have an Oppo 95 and was thinking of up-grading to Oppo 105. I'm only using HDMI so its really not worth the upgrade to a 105 is it? Oppo 103 and 105 should sound the same using HDMI?

I think you should wait until next Spring when the newest Oppo will no doubt be available.

That's really what I was driving at in my comments/request for help under the thread running about 'dipping the toe into the water on downloads. Maybe better to wait a few months to see what else come along.

No sign of this. And I have asked folk who should know.

However, their technology/functionality lead has eroded, so I would be gobsmacked if they didn't have something in the pipeline.

All Oppos via HDMI perform same (according to Oppo support). IME inferior to Sony

Mainly using the new Oppo for video and DSD download files. Can Sony do DSD files?

On paper, the Sony can do all that but the proof will come when we can actually use it.

As history shows us, there is always something better coming down the pipeline in terms of technology.

I have quite a few OPPOs (using them in various systems) and IMHO, the 105 is better built and has never disappointed.

If it's in your current budget, then GO FOR IT, hoop!

If i sell the Oppo 95 on Ebay I could afford the 105. Have to wait till I get out of surgery tomorrow. Be out for a week.
