Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The internal DAC impresses serious audiophiles. One user directly compared the BDP-105D's converters to the Burr Brown DAC chips inside a $7000 Denon PMA A110 anniversary amplifier and found the Oppo sounded better. After upgrading the word clock and power supply, they claimed it outperformed nearly everything else regardless of price. This suggests the stock DAC implementation is already strong, with real headroom for enthusiasts willing to modify the unit further for even better sound quality.

Build quality and reliability earn strong loyalty. A long-term owner states they have never owned a better or more reliably built piece of electronic equipment, pushing back firmly against another user's complaint by suggesting it was likely a setup error rather than a hardware fault. This kind of unprompted defense signals genuine confidence in the unit's construction and day-to-day dependability among people who have lived with it for a while.

Some users hit real-world connectivity snags. One person reports an audible hiss when connecting active speakers to the 7.1 channel pre-outs, calling it unacceptable and noting surprise that it isn't more widely discussed. Separately, another user found that plugging in a USB hard drive registered as 'USB in' internally but never displayed on the TV screen, leaving them unable to browse or confirm the connected drive's contents properly.
