In Reply to: RE: I have an older LG wireless unit... posted by rlw on November 12, 2014 at 05:59:16
Hi and thanks for the information
Do you remember the exact model maybe ?
I think that this feature is not that common in recent BR players (Oppo aside of course ... actually i should go for that and stop all the ramblings maybe ?)
But as i have already some decent dacs to try even a good digital out could be just fine
Thanks a lot
Kind regards,

and get yourself an OPPO BDP-103D
Have you read this review?
The audio via HDMI is particularly praised
Hi and thanks for the kind and valuable advice and ... sorry for the ramblings
You are right ... i have a "cheap" attitude that can be a bad thing
But 1) i do not need a high end video having just a normal plasma TV
2) i would like to get a decent sound directly from the analog outs of the source without the need to add a dac/pre processor
3) the ability to stream wirelessly from a Nas would be very interesting
I am sure that the Oppo you recommend has all these 3 features
And the construction even of the stock model is spectacular
I heard that some high-end brands just re-pack the Oppo internals and charge a lot more
But is 800 euro ... i was thinking more to 2-300
Even something used would be perfectly ok
I do not need the very last model at all
I see many people triyng to get rid of still nice things these days
Thanks again
Kind regards,

A gently used Oppo BDP-93 would probably be perfect. I've seen them on Agon for about $300-350US. They do a credible job on the audio side and a spectacular job of upscaling DVDs. They also have all of the networking features you seek, USB input, and typical Oppo build quality.
I have a 93 and really like the unit. It's built very well and will last at least a decade...
PS: I'll try to dig up the info. on the LG wireless I mentioned. However, I really do not like its user interface and it is nothing special on audio playback - no SACD or DVD-Audio for one thing...

800 Euro?? crazy high
$629 CDN here
Hi and thanks again
This is the price mentioned in the review you linked for the modded unit
i do not mean that the Oppo is not a great unit indeed
The photos show the quality of the layout and parts
Actually i heard rumors of its circuits used in other high end players
So it must be very good indeed
But i think that the last drop of quality is noticeable only in very good playback systems, hardly my case
I have now an old Roksan integrated and cheap Dynaudio bookshelf speakers
Nice but not at all high end
But i promise .. this is the last rambling
Thanks a lot again

No, the rambling is always welcome.
I always click on your posts cuz I appreciate your enthusiasm for our silly hobby!
Hi Enzo !
thanks a lot for your kind sympathy in the sense that i am little sick for audio and actually i tend to buy very cheap things in big quantity
Always looking for some "giant killer"
And my friends criticize me always
They rightly prefer few good pieces of decent quality
I guess that this kind of behaviour comes from the youth when i could not buy almost anything
Thanks a lot again.
Kindest regards.
Kind regards,
