mustang guy Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sounds awesome! Are you going to be using the analog outs, so as to use the internal DAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAmmer32261 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sounds awesome! Are you going to be using the analog outs, so as to use the internal DAC? I dont think i have a choice mustang, i want to be able to burn my 24/192 music files to a dvd and play them thru the oppo. My avr doesnt have balanced inputs what do you recommend for good quality rca's?? Congrats HAmmer! Your are making that system into a super system, lol. Thx Derrick, i probably got in over my head with this player it looks like you need a engineering degree to set this thing up [8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunburnwilly Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The 105 is very easy to set up . I will say one thing though the sound improves the more hours you use it . Mine seemed a bit thin at first , especially with cd's now it's very solid . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Stupid question I have herd all the rave reviews on these units. As a blu ray player are you using it to watch movies as well. Or just listening to music, what is the complete story on the connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 what is the complete story on the connectionsAll outputs are hot . How you use them is up to you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I use hdmi out from my ps3 to my receiver for audio and video. Are folks not using hdmi from the oppo to their receivers for audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I use hdmi from Oppo to pre/pro for Blu-Ray movie playback as I like what Audyssey does for that. For SACD / CD / MC Audio I use the analog outs on the Oppo to my pre/pro to take advantage of the Oppo dac's. For stereo playback, I have the dedicated stereo outs (xlr) connected to the pre/pro For streaming from the pc, I use the USB Asynchronous DAC input on the oppo and play thru the analog outs. Like Sunburnwilly said, all outputs are live at all times so I can toggle different inputs on my Onkyo remote for various playback choices. Hope that helps.......

The video section of the 103/105 is the same. People who use the HDMI Out from the OPPO get a 103. The major difference between the 2 is that the 105 has a very robust analog section. I have my 105 hooked directly to my amp via analog connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my 105 hooked directly to my amp via analog connections. So you use the hdmi for video, and the 5 or 7 analog outputs directly to your amp. When you say amp you mean like separates right not a receiver. If so I take it that the Oppo does all the audio processing, so you could just run the hdmi for video to a projector and the analog outs to your separates which gives you the best optimal sound.

Yes, you can connect directly to an amp (separates) and use the Oppo as a stand alone processor and run hdmi to the projector. As far as optimal sound, that does take all other compoments out of the signal path so makes for a good arguement / discussion. With 2 hdmi outs and 2 hdmi in and analog outs, the oppo is very versatile for many different scenarios. I think Mongo got rid of his AVR altogether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieWoof Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 1st sorry for a thread hijacking Rant ! when I look at what the Oppo 105 does ,why in heck didn't Oppo take it a step further & make a full feature Pre/Pro Processor that just happens to have a Blu-Ray drive in their unit ?? there is a huge need for a mid priced pre/pro that has the Video processing power & Audio that the Oppo 105 BluRay can do . I use a Onkyo TX-NR1009 as my pre/pro because it has just about every feature except the balanced XLR's PLUS it has the dual video processor that doesn't come on the Onkyo 5508 , The TX-NR1010 is even better as it has XT32 plus the dual chipset vid processor Which by the way is same Vid processor in the Oppo 105 & 103 the HQV Vida chipset I have a Onkyo 5008 which as the same Vid processor as the Onk 5508 pre/pro & my TX-NR1009 is night & day better at video processing than the 5008 is to the degree that my 5008 sits in a box right now . the difference between the two in $ is huge the 5508 costs as much as my 5008 as well . it's frustrating to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
