The other alternative universal disc player is the Yamaha BD-S1067, any thoughts or experience on that? Thanks.

Just now got streaming running using TVersity
FLAC 24 bit at first was utter distortion
I then stopped any transcoding that might be going on so it fed the oppo a pure file which worked a treat. So FLAC 24 bit 96Khz streams no problem
I also tried a few movie files which worked fine

Had a similar problem before with transcoding so do not use it, what is the menu like for accessing the files.
Appreciate your time on this.

Streamings not really my thing, and I had to download TVersity so I wasnt expecting it to transcode anything
Well the only thing I dont like (but this is for anything on hardrive or disc or whatever) is you first have to select if its photo, video or music
So if your in the video selection youd have to go right back to the beginning to select music
If your in the music selection then its quite straightforward. Just browse for the correct folder. Click to play and away you go.
Downside for me is I listen to 2 channel through the dacs (tv is blank) so when I come to select other music I have to change channel on my amp so I can see it onscreen to select it. There other other ways around this problem for me but I dont want to change my setup (At least not for now)
may I add a few answers to questions here first off both 93 and 95 have multi channel analogue outputs ,albeit the 95 also has dedicated stereo analogue outs as well. The 95 benefits from a better toroidal Rotel power supply transformer and of course the 32 bit Sabre DACS, as far as I am aware video processing is identical in both machines but some say that the better ps unit in the 95 makes the video better but if i`m honest we regularly have both on demo here and I certainly do not notice any difference at all in pq which is excellent by the way. the ability to play virtually every known file format apart from mp3 (AS YET) is great, and I also know of someone who streams mp`s when he renames them. SACD, DVDA playback is default in both machines, infact i haven`t as yet known them to fall over with anything

what are they Rik if you let Oppo UK know they will usually try to find a fix to any known issues
they really are very good with customer services

well aware of that pal
Im not that bothered as they are odd files - I was just testing all sorts out really
Im very happy with it playing 99% (minus Mp3s) of everything
Bit more of an update for anyone thats interested in this beast
Finally got round to trying the multi channel oluts. After a bit of a 'run in' period, the 95 is definitely better sounding through the multi outs than using my Marantz av8003 to decode (pre amp costing approx 2.5k to buy now!). The detail is astounding, voices in particular are so much easier to follow. It really does make all but the very best high end processors redundant. This is using Atlas Titan phono cables (im not going on record to say it would sound good listening through freebie cables). Still not got round to trying the balanced outputs yet
DVD scaling looked poor at first, but after a good run in is definitely far better than my other equipment
Blurays look better than through my PS3 or my S370 (Contrary to what other people might say)
Now, if they could just get this MP3 sorted..........

How about these mods for the oppo 95?? (also at a premium price) but interesting thoughts. Never seen tubes on bluray player before. Goes to my other thread on mods

There's never going to be an end to all these "upgrades"! The Oppo 95 is already an upgraded 93.
Oppo 95 has already received a 'reference status' in one of the reviews. How much better do you want it to get?
Just wondering if there is a majore difference or not, never heard one myself or seen one in the hifi shows (either that or not been clued into such previously)

I am now using OPPO 83 NUForce Edition and very happy with the 2 channel output.
I have no chance to compare my 83NE with 95EU but some review said both are very similar on stereo output but 95EU sounds more tube like and should be better when listening to vocals.
I will change my player to 95EU only if there is a hugh difference and I think at the moment I will live with my 83NE for some time.

WHF has just released its review on OPPO 93EU (just having 4 Stars). I am looking forward to a similar review on 95EU which is claimed to be a high ended product before making up my mind if I will upgrade my OPPO 83NE to this new model.
I wonder if aliEnRIK has further updates with his 95EU.

Well, just wanted to know whether you have found something that falls short of your expectation.

Aside from it not currently playing MP3s, im very happy with it.
do you even understand anything about what happens when a componant upscales sd to a hd screen rik?aliEnRIK said:
it basically uses an algorithm to work out (guess, if you will) how to stretch the image to the higher resolution screen, be it 720p or 1080p, the algorithm is not organic, it's not able to think for itself, it doesn't learn, it cannot improve, it.... you getting my drift?
your enthusiasm has gotten the better of you once again rik, or your interpretation of what a poor picture and a good picture is changes over time, because your oppos upscaling prowess simply can't, it's not possible, it couldn't happen..
or maybe i just don't know what i'm talking about again

Oh. I prefer my version...
what rik has proven by that statement is that
a) his eyesight is poor
b) his interpretation of what a good picture is is poor
c) he want's to believe his oppos upscaling has improved
d) he needs to believe it's improved
e) a combination of the above
see an algorithm is a complex mathematical equation, now 4 times 4 is also a mathematical equation, albeit less complex.
but no matter how long you burn in 4 times 4 it's still going to be 16
just 16
not 16 with better blacks, smoother motion or more bass, just 16
the oppos scaling is a mathematical equation, it can't improve, just like 16 can't improve.
in a court of law a proffesor would explain that..
