I hesitate to trouble the folks on this thread, but would one among you mind sending me the scd-xa5400es white paper, or a working link to the file? I've scoured the web using several search engines. All point to review citations or a dead Rapidshare link. Eager to have a look at the technical document if you'd be so kind.

me: mrmarano(ins3rt-att-symb0l-h3re)gmail d0t c0m.

Thank you kindly,
Mike

How does the quality of that Sony DAC compare to the Oppo 105 ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC? (technically and audibly)

There have been many subjective comparisons all over the web as well as some published reviews.

My guess is that "technically" the Sabra32 will outperform the Sony DAC, as to if that translates into better sound quality, well that will be purely subjective and you have to consider the products in their entirety because the DAC is just a small part of what makes a product sound good or bad.

Oh, I figured that! I was just curious to hear from people who compared the two and could offer some subjective comments.

If it's any help, Fugue, I retired my Sony 5400 after acquiring the OPPO BDP~93......sounded better via HDMI than the Sony.

Now that I have the OPPO BDP~105 (retiring the BDP~93), my SONY sits quietly on a shelf collecting dust.

Ironically, I paid the same for the OPPO 105 as I did for the SONY and IMO, there's NO comparison. I love the 105 hands down.

I'm buying a 105 in a week or so--I look forward to comparing it!
