What differences are there between the 95 and the 105 ?

The 105 uses better DACs so has a higher quality analogue output, has balanced XLR outputs for the left and right channels, and the USB inputs are asynchronous.

Are the any differences to the non analogue side of things?

I said that a little wrongly really. I should have said having the better DACs will give a better D/A conversion - of course, it is then down to the quality of the analogue output which determines what you get out of the player. Balanced connections tend to give a benefit too.

One of our customers who borrowed the 105 over the weekend said that playing a CD was similar quality to his 8200CDQ. He also commented that the headphone output was particularly good.

The features of the 105 over and above those of the 95 (which were impressive in their own right, hence Home Cinema Choice magazine giving the Oppo 95 the verdict of Reference Status in its August 2011 edition) are given here http://www.oppo-bluray.co.uk/ecommerce/blu-ray-players/oppo-bdp-105eu.aspx

(if that link doesn't work, go to the Oppo UK website, and go to the page detailing the 105.)

I don't think they agree with it, I personally don't.

Well reviews are subject to opinion, if we all agreed we would live in a very bland world. :) it will be interesting to see what they give the 105. As I recall the oppo 93 received 4 stars and the 95, 5 stars.
