[Deleted member 2457]

Cheers Newlash! I looked at the disc with hdr and without and was well impressed, but to be honest I could tell it was really good, one of my better discs for sure.

I can't wait to see mine. Seen that movie a hundred times and still love it. Probably the only movie I've seen numerous times apart from Avatar

The best film ever

but starting to show it’s age now it’s on 4k a specially the special effects

The extended version of terminator 2 is on the Blu-ray Disc but not on the 4k disc not good which why I had brought the the 4k version in the first place .

That’s THE reason I won’t be buying it then! I can’t remember the last time I watched the non extended release - certainly not since I had the extended version copied from Laserdisc to VHS!

That would break my heart

Wow that’s a blast from the past lazer disc I remember back in the 1990s As I see that on lazer disc as that was my main reason to buy my first home cinema back then but didn’t buy a lazer disc as I was still using a VHS muti region player and then DVD came out so brought terminator 2 over the years probably 10 times with all the different formats and versions of that film .

But totally justified considering how well it is made

Sorry to intrude like this. Did you by any chance try the streaming functionality of the oppo 203. Iam planning on merging my hifi with my HT. So the wxc-50 will move to my head phone setup that iam planning.

I mostly use tidal and network play over my Nas. If I could plug in my Chromecast somewhere into the oppo it would be beneficial too

 

[Blacksabbath25]

No mate sorry I’ve not tried the Oppo with streaming as I use my Yamaha wxc50 for that

Iam planning on using the PMC twenty 26 as my main fronts and sell the QA concept 40's. So without my main stereo setup I would go for a head phone setup. So I was looking for a UHD player that can stream tidal and from my Nas, as well as have Google Chromecast so I can utilise the quality of the PMC's for music.

My present wxc-50 and chord 2 qute dac would be going into my head phone setup

I know you can use the Oppo for connecting up to a hard drive from your pc or what ever you use for storing music or films and then it streams it over a internet connection I think but I’ve never tried it mate as I am mostly physically format person .

about your QA concept 40s can’t you use them for back speakers on your home cinema or effect speakers before you sell them ?

 

[Blacksabbath25]

Best thing to do is start a thread up asking how to do it mate I think Gel still got a Oppo still and I’ve seen some other people who have one on here that’s the best advice I can give you as I will never bother with doing something like that .

Sounds pretty shoddy!

YEP, IT IS SHODDY.

But questioning the sound is rather silly..... as IT is real nice.

Following is the Home Section of the Oppo 203 - see 3rd point

You can bring up the Home Menu with the HOME button on the remote control. Currently there are seven
selections:
 Disc enables the player to start playback of an inserted optical disc.
 Music, Movies and Photos allow you to access corresponding type of media files from a
connected USB drive and inserted data disc.
 Network enables the player to stream audio, video and photos from media servers on the home
network. Compatible hardware and software may be required.
 Setup brings the player’s Setup Menu, just like pressing the SETUP button on the remote.
 Favorites provides you with a shortcut to access folders or files you love or often access.

Two other points:

1. The 203 has an HDMI IN port

2. See below for list of compatible Windows DLNA Servers
