Primary used as a CD/SACD player only, but i a Blue-ray multi-format disc player.
It has the latest SABRE 32 bit (DAC) chip, Balanced with outputs as well as TCA's and RCA, i used a monitor and HDMI initially to see the Disc and settings i used the app also, however, monitor was better. in settings designate which your using PCM etc Oppo has great customer support, 6SN7 driver tubes will last many many years The CD best digital player that I have ever heard until I jumped to a DCS Rossini Player, hoping it will be my final digital Destination. My loss your gain!
It is the closest thing other than the DCS I have heard to a high-end CD (15K and up), There really isn't much in it and to be honest for the amount of money i had to spend to get the slight gain in detail and dynamics..law of diminishing return...my lose your gain!.
Superlative to the Modwright version. These Modded 205's are a rare find on used Audio classifieds

Newer products such as the UDP-203 and UDP-205 will likely receive more frequent upgrades
The 205 has all the mods of the highly regarded 105. In addition, there were upgrades to many of the analog sections and improvements to the clocking. The very latest SABRE chip made a huge improvement as well because

Questions for the seller |

Are the analog mods just for stereo output (which, unfortunately for me, I believe is the case), or applied to the 5.1 channels?
