It's nice that one of the testers has the same PJ as I do and was able to answer some specific questions regarding HDR and share side by side screenshots from the Oppo and Samsung. That and, imo, the other 4K players on the market right now are plagued with various issues and from what I consider consumer grade manufacturers. I put Oppo in the prosumer category. And I needed a new SACD player. It was a pretty easy decision for me. Should have it Friday.

Great. Now I'm going to have to start saving up for this UHD payer. Last year I bought the region free BDP-103. I already bought a Samsung 4K UHD player to be able to play my 4K Bluray movies. But, Oppo quality is the best.

Looking forward to this. I've had an Oppo DVD player and have the BR player. Very satisfied - 7.1 analog outs, region free. That being said, if those (or its other features like SACD playing) don't matter to you, I'd get a cheaper player (Best would be to wait until 4K Blu ray players get to the $100 mark).
The BR player was the fastest BR player by far when it came out, though doubtlessly surpassed in ~2 years. Upscaling (DVD to 1080p) is excellent, though again not enough by itself to recommend it, IMO. |

Loving mine. I didn't have any of the bigger issues that people reported on release, and they just did a firmware update.
They're working hard to work out the bugs. All of my gear is newer within the last 2 years, so that's probably why I didn't have any of the issues that others had. |

It's been g2g for me.
Only issue I had was with SACD playback. I had to change the Output Resolution and then it played them with no issue. UHD HDR discs are absolutely beautiful. Warcraft looks freaking amazing in HDR. And Ive had no issues that some others on the forums have reported. But I'm also using all new equipment (Oppo>Marantz 7011>Epson 5040UB.) I have not had a single HDMI, HDR, resolution or color space issue. Whatever settings I ask of it, it's passing it directly through to the Marantz and Epson without issue. |

The only issue I have isn't related to my sources, but my Denon X4200w. It's apparently molesting HDR signals and downgrading them to 8bit. In order to combat this, I have to hard select 4.4.4 color space and 12bit output. I had to do something similar on my ROKU ultra. If I don't do that, then HDR content has terrible banding in bright areas such as sky shots. Since Marantz and Denon are essentially the same company, it appears that Marantz units of the same year (2015) as my Denon also have the issue, but Marantz has acknowledged it and a fix is coming. Denon hasn't said anything yet, but I have to assume, again because they're basically the same company, that they have a fix coming as well. However, I am considering getting a newer receiver, in the event that Denon doesn't fix it, and the Marantz 7011 is at the top of the list. My question to you is, if you leave the 203 on "auto", do you experience any banding in HDR content? Thanks! |

My question to you is, if you leave the 203 on "auto", do you experience any banding in HDR content? Thanks! I dont recall any banding issues on my 203 with any 4K HDR/SDR output. And I played around quite a bit with Auto HDR straight from the 203>Marantz>5040UB and stripping the meta data in the 203>Marantz >manually setting SDR on the 5040UB. There is a lot of hub bub about adequate HDR brightness and running the 5040UB on HDR2 or running it in SDR for a brighter/sparklier picture. In all of those back and forth tests (using Warcraft UHD as the test source material) I never saw any banding whatsoever. I did notice banding from the Roku Ultra but Im convinced that the Ultra is a giant turd (for reasons in addition to the banding.) It has severe software/firmware issues, imo, and Roku needs to get their shit together. Its the only Roku device that Ive been unhappy with. I would love to go down and do some tests for you using your settings on the 203 and the Marantz, but my theater is a bit.....unusable right now.  I was supposed to be finishing it up this weekend and putting it all back together, but the carpet guys came Monday for the install and the carpet was fucked up. Something about the yarns being uneven in the pile causing vertical lines. So now I have to wait 10-14 days for new carpet. Grrrrrrrrrr I want my theater back!

My Roku is running fine after last update, but had to go into "secret" menu to select 4.2.0 color space to stop the banding. Now Amazon HDR is stunning as well as Netflix 4K. |

As soon as I get everything back together, I'll have to try it out on the Roku. Admittedly, it's been out of commission for a few weeks. When I first got it (that first week it was released) it worked brilliantly. Only issue I had was sometimes I had to reboot it to get Netflix (or maybe it was Prime...I forget now) 4K content to show up in the menu even though the Marantz and Epson both showed it was being fed the proper signal from the Roku and the Roku itself showed it was in 4K + HDR display mode. But it presented a beautiful picture other than that. And then the updates started and all hell broke loose. Rebooting almost daily, pink screens (HDMI sync issues), banding, etc. The AVS Roku thread looked like GD on it's worst day as everyone was having similar issues. There was a point where I simply stopped streaming content from it. |

The new carpet came today and....*drumroll* it's bad, too. Same f'n problem. They think it probably came from the same roll and that the whole run at the mill was probably bad.
So new carpet (a different brand) is ordered and Im back to 2 weeks wait time. Sigh. F Mohawk carpet. That is all. All of my new gear is going to be old tech by the time this project gets done.

It's a DAC designed for studios and professional applications. Basically, the 205 will have the transport of the 203 with the DAC of their Sonica DAC. It should sound even better than the 203--which sounds incredible as it is. I did find this quote from Oppo regarding apps: "The UDP-20x line of players will not support Tidal or other streaming services, but it is definitely something that we are looking into possibly supporting in the future." So, streaming apps are out for now but it sounds like they have received enough feedback that they may rethink that position. |

It would depend on how you hooked it up. Digital out from the 205 to the Mc = Mc DAC. Analog out from the 205 = 205 DAC. If I use the Mc DAC is there any benefit to on one 4K player like the oppo 205 over the 203 oppo/samsung/sony or another? |

I have an older BDP-95 and comparing it to my Cambridge DAC magic or Marantz 7702mk2 DAC is quite revealing. The 95 is much better, and the 205 is going to use an even better newer DAC. Plus the xx5 series Oppos are fully balanced designs. They are quite spectacular when using the analog outs and the built in DACs. |

The BPD-205 just became available for pre order a few minutes ago. It is going to start shipping in two weeks. I ordered one. Can't wait. I have a BPD-95 right now, and love the Sabre DACs for two channel audio via balanced connections to my two channel preamp. The Sabre Pro Dacs are going to be amazing plus the 205 can be used as a stand alone DAC.

Im actually going to leave the 203 in the rack and hook up the 205 at the same time. I'll run the 203 to the Marantz via HDMI (digital) and the 205 to the Marantz via analog. Then I'll run some real-time AB comparisons between the two as I have multiple copies from the same master of DSOTM, When Hell Freezes Over and Brothers In Arms. |

Wow digdug you aren't kidding. Intoxicating.
I honestly wasn't expecting to hear a huge difference but wow was I wrong. Took a bit of time to get my measurements since I'm bypassing all of the room correction and bass management in the Marantz, but wow. Sultans of swing sounds amazing. Money for nothing, so far away...all incredible. Digging into Holly Cole Trio and Diana Krall now. Haven't event got to Floyd yet. Big smile on my face tonight.
