Looks like some things never change, Pioneer still the best when it comes to Blu-ray players. Lol

Dare I ask where it gets 3 stars? No sign of a new edition of WHFSV in our part of the swamp yet.
Michelin Guide?
Michelin Guide?
I have found several reviews on line from well known sources and they are all extremely complementary. I cannot find any trace of a 3 star review .

Do you mean it's been delivered to subscribers today? In which case do you think you could hold off on the spoilers until some of us have had a chance to get home from work and read it for ourselves...

Yep, wise words, too expensive for what they are, not any better than £200 Blu-ray players.
Interesting, I will have a read of the review.
I would not say its no better than a £200 player, I have had a demo of the unit and it beat all budget players I threw at it. Both musically and for AV.

I tend to agree with a lot of the reviews on the site, but to say this player is no better than a sony s790 (for example) is simply not true. The Sony performed poorly in handling image and fast motion, it looks blurred in comparison to the Oppo.
I would argue its the other way around 3 stars for Sony and 5 for Oppo.
Again I will read the review at home later, I am sure there is more to this.

WHF not the leading authority on all things! Every other reviewer in every other highly regarded publication, gives it either reference status, or nothing near it at any where near the price status:star:
I compared my 95 to denon costing £2500 at the time the oppo was at £900. Amongst other players costing much much more. Nothing came near. I never looked back. And wont be changing my 95 any time soon.
When will some of you guys stop seeing whf mag as the holy grail? And start reading someone elses also, for a more balanced view. And get out there and dem this kit!!
If the 103/105 is only half the machine the 95 is, it will be awsome.(With the right partnering kit of course)
Cheers

Page 75 is worse. The guy is looking for a 32gb tablet for around £200, so What-Apple Advice Centre suggests an ipad mini at £349. Or page 77, where the poor guy is recommended a Sony Blu-Ray and TV as it can be controlled with a free Media Remote for iphone, even though he doesn't say he's got an iphone at all.
Page 90 competition is for 2 pairs of interconnects and speaker cable at £2550.. The review says, and I quote, ''they are, of course, expensive''. We couldn't have worked that one out!
It's still far and away the best mag out there. Yes, we poke fun at it now and again, but generally it is very good. We wouldn't subscribe otherwise.

Surely not disagreement with a WHF review of an Oppo product?
I never thought I'd see the day...

Hmmm.....interesting. So the Oppo drops a star from last year, mainly because the £200 players have improved their performance significantly, making it hard to justify spending £500 on a player. Looks like Cambridge Audio 652BD will go the same way & drop a star. :?
If 500+ is being spent, you are buying the player for its ability to play CD as well. When reading the review this was a huge negative for the Oppo and the reason it dropped an extra star I think.
Tad harsh, the Oppo 95 was and is a very capable machine as is the Oppo 93, that tradition continues with the 103 and certainly the 105. Extend that to Cambridge Audio as they are Oppo under the hood. There is a difference, I can certainly see it when I demo.
One budget player that I thought came within a whisker was the BDT500 (bluray playback)

The way I see it is that the Cambridge Audio has better sound, hence why it does better.
