I have had no issues with this player plus it plays all my SACDs and DVDaudios. Maybe my 43 Inch Sony Telly is not quite up to spec on the HDR front but all the youtube 4K formats look spectacular, just a shame most of 4K blurays are fake if you check the site real or fake 4k!!!

Asia, Yes, Boston are bands I have not seen but would have enjoyed. ZZ Top and ACDC are bands I have witnessed who are entertaining. Heart were a typical band who were advised/forced to change direction towards the pop scene which may of increased their sales at the time. Needlesly, they have...

Went for the July Subscription which featured a free Rega Couple 2 Phono Lead that arrived today. Just looking for a suitable turntable with built in pre amp.

You guessed it got this from Tesco from £25 to £15 but why are animation 4K products £5 more than say a live cast movie? Especially with no notable wow factor difference. Bizare

This was my favourite amplifier which coupled with Rotel bitstream Player 865 and Sony APM22ES Speakers with square tweeter and bass enclosures was as good as my current Cyrus and Kef system. It worked well with Wharfedale Diamond I and II speakers of that era as an amp with no tonal controls.

Bought this today for £13 from Tesco using coupon and staff discount, not bad considering there is 3 discs inside. Plus they are starting to do 2 for £30 in 4k back titles.

This is an interesting website where the legend of Tarzan is really 2K mastered to look like 4K. Probably right as the swirling mist at the beginning look more like a fingerprint including the sky areas. Probably what the Oppo is picking up on. Whereas 4K on youtube looks amazing be it someones...

Very happy with its upscaling capabilities especially Bluray, but not sure if the 4K ultra HD is worth the extra money. Bought 2 more from HMV - Criminal and Heart of the Sea (2 for £30). I like the on screen menus and the free HDMI cable. At least it works with the Soundbar.

Just bought it today but did not have time to set up due to work. Just hope it works through the Yamaha SB!! Will have a play tomorrow with the SACD and DVD(A) plus I bought the Tarzan HDR Bluray to test against upscaled BD and DVD. Shame to make the CA 751 redundant as that is still going...

The lack of interaction from the What Hifi team is the culprit here, for example where I believe Andy Clough was gutted that the B&W speakers he favoured did not win against the KEFs and Claire threw a bowling ball at a tv was the glue and charm that held this forum together many moons ago...

Hi there don't normally dwell to long on this forum but was impressed by your dedication to what if and how far can I go with Loudspeaker ideaologies and wondered if you had ever heard a Polyphon? Luckily in Salcombe as part of the National Trust the Overbecks estate have a traditional German...

An audiophile should be able to appreciate vinyl, Reel to Reel, cassette, DAT, compact disc, SACD, mp3, DVD audio etc plus FM to DAB formats in relation to how it affects the person at a given point of time. The other fun part is through trial and error matching up the ancillaries to create...

It would appear that What Hifi has been relegated from the premier division and that the likes of Stuff are now considered to be priority. Shocking if this website is considered acceptable for the masses who made it what it was. Oh well thats progress in this day and age. Anyroad I have...

I spent more on DVD Audio/SACD formats be it Olivia Newton John, The Corrs, Belinda Carlisle, Star Trek Nemesis, Linda Ronstadt, Rosemary Clooney, War of the Worlds, Celtic irish music and 3 girls duet including Mari Wilson (jazz) to appreciate this media against the common mega numerous...

50% CD owing to the Cyrus bold signature. 40% Streaming via Cocktail Audio WAV NAS/Spotify courtesy of Sonos products. 8% DVD Audio/SACD out of curiousity via CA 751BD utilising Soundbar/Subwoofer vs analogue 8Xpd/KEF. 2% Vinyl as local Charity shop are selling this format for peanuts which...
