Oppo BDP-95 Blu Ray DVD Player
Price: $1,249.99
The ultimate purpose of the requirement that users expect from any device, and it is a challenge for designers (and manufacturers) in the management. "Utility" of those cost increases. What to do to achieve the best possible value. Which depend on that. Several advantages to the "liking" the user much.
Universal's players. A call to. Players who are capable of superior players online. Playing a variety of issues. Currently, the software format, there are plenty of audio-visual system is not restricted to just Blu-ray DVD or CD, however, you will receive from the utility. Universal's players. As I mentioned in this article. Has to be called. Universal's regular players. This issue is not about features. And functionality, but also "quality" than the standard player for the same price.
BDP-93, BDP-95 is clear that the difference is the thickness of the body rather than the 95 which have a reason not to terrorize but to shell out, but inside the hollow back hollow. Lbehlieim panel has some little dull to me to reduce the Oppo logo design is not just the logo intact. It acts as a switch, the power to simultaneously use it to stab Oppo has been good but he is a touch-control switches. (When activated will glow up), while the smaller version as a regular keyboard....
As a player at Universal. Optical Disk Drive option in Windows to read a variety of software formats including BD, SACD, DVD and CD.
The first point to the "pro" is the analog output balanced (XLR) and "rare" for Blu-ray player at this price since version 93 from input USB, 2 channel, then the point is. surprising is that connectors eSATA will see the familiar with the HD Player, but never had the Blu-ray players, the stand-alone that this would be impossible to multi-point hidden under the body. Universal's players, then perhaps ... But this is another point that is not commonly known as Dual HDMI connections, these benefits are. I will gradually notice to me.
Multi-channel analog output 7.1 channels, which indicates the filling of digital surround sound decoder into a format analog. It can be connected for use with analog multi-channel amplifiers amplifier directly. Do not rely on the audio decoder in AVR, so even if the AVR or AV Pre Processor version is not region encoded surround sound hi-deck software will feel right to me is over 93 or Cabinet. General Ray Player is a compact version of the analog audio outputs are well spaced. As I know. How to Connect this cable to use multiple lines. If the space. Disconnect the plug at the other to be more convenient to see the clusters are combined, it is hard to pull the plug, it seemed, especially when used with "connections" with other big men.
If the AC power cable with a connector on the model 93 is one difference. Although both are the same as the standard IEC Inlet, but the 95-pin 93 and ground, while this does not involve the ground, but somehow different. Because even though the pin 95 is ground, it floats up. Not connected to the chassis. This is the normal pattern typical for today's players. Point it becomes a matter of plugging in a wire me the third leg despite not being used. But it helps to increase the stability of the plug, even more, especially when used with a big heavy cord.
Access Equipment Access Software Ltd is a separate box methodically well. This looks good, not less (better put it off in a big box. If the box is not good. I fall. But I can not believe it. I know it's gone).
Inside is a vital device is a remote control and cable, AC cable, although it is the conductor cross section larger than that seen over other standard (3 x 2.0 sq.mm.) get a call. HDMI out with the cool is a USB Wireless Adapter vaguely remember that it is a standard Wireless N150 in the area is not available for LAN wired into it using a Wireless here well I manufacture a line if you want it. Wireless Adapter with built directly into other devices that came from the black box is the instruction manual (critical) size A4 I also have a bag and a card (not shown), small enough to enter the unit. not exactly. I will forward it to handle it well.
The remote control looks very familiar. Because since the first edition (83), including the Universal Player are you (the OEM from Oppo), although the size is quite large. However, the large size of the keypad as well. The press has been easy. A letter or symbol is visible is easy Backlit orange that even in a dark room.
From the outside to look inside me. First, I want to see a smaller version is version 93 before you see something not so complicated. This is typical of Blu-ray player at this price. Position the video. With digital audio are included onboard the left. The analogue audio board is isolated and near the right-hand side of the switching power supply. The bare However, when I did not block any components within any of these grades, it looks quite good quality.
Now it is a larger version. Prices have increased almost as much. The difference would be. But what will be developed from the image (if referring to a switch on the lower 93 to 95 while taking it. Bottom of the image, the front section 93 at the bottom of the image, the rear panel) is visible because of an obscure area of ??more than half and the other part I do not see that "the analog audio board," What size is large. more than 4 times!
If I count the number of channels to find that the Oppo has added a second analog channel could not be specifically tied to the multi-channel analog out the same. In case the system is connected via an analog output with 2-channel signal source is a multi-channel. The system will be down mixed stereo signal automatically go. (If the original connection to the Multi-Channel Audio Processing Output must be set to match the user may need to disable the function Bass Management for LFE signals are mixed with the stereo. The effects of all other channels. I do not cut it), but the advantage is not there. Indeed, this would add weight to balance a lot of input. It is known that the output format for the signal to noise ratio better than the balance. But another important point to output 2-channel balance and a balance of both drugs together have a more ESS ES9018 SABRE32 32-bit DAC chip for stereo analog out only. As a result, the number of DNR (Dynamic Range) and THD + N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise) has high ceilings, more. Will affect the sound quality of much practical use. I try to report the sound quality.
Note: In version 95 the ES9018 DAC chip 2 points for a multi-channel analog output at one point. The stereo output point), although it is not my point 2 of the Universal Copyright and decorate the many myths in the market. Independent of the channel at a time. But it's the right price, then 93, then use the Cirrus Logic CS4382A 24-bit DAC chip (the same as the version number 83) a single point for all analog audio out.
2 points being added to the Toroidal Power Supply for the audio, which is nice brand "Rotel" with his disciples ... I have enough heart to audio files. But actually it is not common (the advantages of this transformer is the rate of spread, low EMI noise than EI) is a quality knife. Be submitted to the board room (located on the right hand side) with ELNA capacitors of the pore is lined with the analog audio board another. The switching power supply that must exist. (Not eliminated), it has been around the block separately. Prevent the spread signal to a range of other side.
Oppo 93/95 is one of the open player with Dual HDMI, but it took them what? Video and audio connections. From the program. It is whatever (BD / DVD Player, HD Player, Game Console, Satellite Receiver, etc.) In a standard connection, gather video and audio signals in line single (HDMI) if you will. To complete the viewing (listening), both audio and video. It's important to be connected through the AVR, which was able to respond to this type of work. No problem. However, this method of increasing importance to the AVR by the center. Or through video and audio signals are. And features that are all in a home theater system. A heavy burden if the AVR is not standardized. Or have not been updated to support new standards will become a burden to the potential impact. And reduce their own performance.
Dual HDMI and will help in this matter? If a player has HDMI Output Dual (Dual) came first, the user can Tadpraeden a signal through the AVR's possible (for movies and Blu-ray DVDs are played through the player on this machine), as if AVR is an older version that does not support 3D Pass-through is usually a problem for the AVR can output 3D images to the monitor when you connect directly to the monitor. I do not feel the sound through the AVR.
But if there is not an issue with HDMI. 3D Video signal, because we can not get straight into the TV and the sound of Chill is not impressive. It remains to connect the digital audio signal through HDMI to the AVR on the one way to help solve the problem of signal loss for those who are serious. Because of the medium (AVR), which may reduce the signal quality. In addition, the manufacturer of the lift is in the Bit rate (the same as a pipe) transmission is improved. The result is picture quality and sound is improved as well. However, this method will need to add the HDMI cable into the other one does not mean that I will use HDMI Monitor Out with the AVR to AVR because it still relies on the new Fort. As well as up-scale video signal format, old (analog video - standard definition) for the video equipment other than the oppo is connected to the AVR and HDMI cable from the AVR Monitor Out lines to the use of the designated time set. up. Or change the parameters of the AVR as well.
Note: To be of maximum benefit in terms of quality. Recommended to connect the HDMI 1 Out of the signal processing of video signal with a chip Marvell Qdeo 88DE2750 (Kyoto-G2 is a Video Processor chip directly), while HDMI 2 Out processed signal chip Mediatek. MT8530HEFG (Processor chip multi-format).
SACD virtue of "The Universal Player".
Not to mention the ability to play SACD discs, but not a universal test of a complete player. Because this function is "worth" one for all-purpose player like this ...
While the SACD format is a software system (in the past) are not successful today. I must admit that in an era with no other options for software format. Hi-resolution Audio and SACD sound quality of "superiority" over Fort standard CD format as a whole, we may find a studio master quality more easily. It is a more interesting choice. But the amount is still not widely known. The album may not be covered. The SACD version is in the hand is not to be indifferent to it? Especially if you store your favorite music and video download formats for this.
A connection using the device in the system. Hear the sound of the SACD multi-channel in the past will find that the flexibility of the system not to cause difficulties in setting up applications. Whether it's the main speakers. For which no function Bass Management To maximize the potential user must be used with most speakers. Of course, should be equal in size to the same harmony. The frequency response throughout the district as well as speaker placement. Channel to all speakers at a distance from the listening as well as a function of time delay compensation (Distance Delay) and 2 correspond to the difficulty than expected. Due to the large room at the 5 speakers, it is also to be placed at a distance equal to one.
The failure of SACD in the past in terms of the difficulty in this application. Will later see that the manufacturer has improved by more of the features compensate for assistance setting up the Bass Mangement and Distance Delay by merging with the player's back, although too late to conjure the SACD up. These features come again with glory. However, it allows users want to download this format to "potential" over standard CDs to the next level. The era's high deck. By virtue of the digital HDMI connection also facilitates the connection to the higher one.
SACD Output through HDMI out option of 95/93 has two options the first option is to output raw (DSD Bitstream) to an external decoder. In this case, the system will be compatible with AVR features DSD Direct (via HDMI) so it will work (ie, the AVR will have the DSD Decoder), but if your AVR does not support it? Option 2 is LPCM and DSD decoding process will be used by players. The output format LPCM to the AVR.
Note: The ability to listen to audio through the AVR SACD with this method. The most important thing is the DSD decoding process associated with the process of resampling a signal that the higher the resolution. Output of the relationship between the player and the AVR Input or External DAC.
LPCM Rate Limit will be determined by the ability to output LPCM digital format, this setting will have a dramatic effect on how to listen. Hi-resolution format, or Studio Master files recorded with a higher standard, Sampling Frequency 48kHz (ie 88.2 - 192kHz) on the digital output to the AVR or External DAC.
Another point of great interest. In addition to supporting the SACD is HDCD Decoding and HDCD is a software alternative to a standard format. Arising from attempts to break the limitations of the standard Red Book CD is that this feature is contained within the Oppo 95/93 HDCD decoding to see how special it is that I see in a DVD player, not per machine. a few hundred.
HDCD decoding is a process that originally formed in conjunction with the process of converting digital signals into analog. The output signal. It is analog. So, if you will benefit from the need to connect audio from HDCD player via analog only. Highlights in this issue, but the Oppo DVD player is better than the other version is that, apart from the sound quality of the decoder (HDCD decoder) and the DAC, the better. But more interesting is that HDCD decoding and 95/93 can be output via the digital out (eg HDMI) to the AVR or External DAC but these devices do not have the HDCD decoding, it has merit. The decoding process is the player to change the HDCD encoding formats Digital PCM 20-bit/44.1kHz. The sound quality was. Was better than I normally do not get to decode HDCD (because the quality will be limited to the standard Red Book CD 16-bit/44.1kHz)....
To see if the output signal from the Oppo 95/93 digital format can be observed from the Playback screen shows details such as a software format and output the SACD format DSD Bitstream (via. HDMI) shows that the output SACD DSD to PCM, it is a HDCD SACD PCM if it would mean that the system is in the HDCD decoding. (Of course, that depends on the disc to be played with. That recorded in any software format.)
Universal's players. Rather than just playing a good variety.
The main advantage of the recent Universal Player is a versatile discs that Oppo 95 (and 93) do more than that! In addition to the above issues. It also integrates the ability to reproduce almost all of the HD Player functions. And support for media files. Includes music, videos and pictures to a home network (DLNA Certified) and online (Internet) content.
Oppo 95/93 Supports Music files from USB External Storage and Network with Lossy formats that are widely popular as MP3, WMA, etc. Including the Fort format Lossless (WAV, FLAC, APE, etc.) And Devil in the Studio Master files with 24-bit 96-192kHz are supported Video files will be the same as the HD Player.
Note: The.
1. 95/93 do not support the music - a language file other than English (the firmware software BDP9x-52-0707. More Japanese and Chinese).
2. To play test a variety of software formats. (Especially video) that connect via USB, it responds to very well. There are no bandwidth issues. The same connection eSATA.
3. For streaming over a network both wired (LAN100) and wireless (Wi-Fi N150) had a Ford audio formats even Hi-res 24-bit/192kHz (2-channel) found. difficulty in hearing. But the sound quality issues. If this does take a different USB> LAN> Wireless is the continuation of a software format on streaming video over a network. It depends on the form. Depending on the bitrate of the file.
Online content. Where the number is increasing. The first player of this new release (according to the latest firmware version. BDP9x-52-0707), mainly as a Video on demand however, is a shame that the people would have seemed quite To access the content in this section.
To modify the settings of the imaging system. The important point to Universal in this player. You can respond to very well. Of course, support for 3D images is also very attractive features for today's players. And the results will not be disappointed with it.
Potential scale of the dealer within The Qdeo processing technology to provide outstanding results. Experiment with patterns of significance. In both of the process. Deinterlacing, Noise Reduction, 3:2 Pull-down, etc., that respond to very well. Of course, the resulting image quality is improved. However, the image features which are important for process scale-up. To improve. Or correction of a problem, look better, and at this point, however, the quality of the Oppo is a prominent feature of these is to be weighted appropriately. This is a common practice for high-scale dealers.
Note: Picture Adjustment menu is in addition to the main menu, then run through. A shortcut by pressing the Setup button on the remote and hold.
Originally, I was 93, compared with the sound quality between analog and digital outputs (HDMI) found that despite their differences, but not between each mode is good, not outstanding art work. (Compatible with AVR prices to half a billion trees) and the analogue to relaxing music while HDMI will be a revelation to me. However, when converted to 95 by virtue of the ESS SABRE32 found that "the flow" is an issue about the changes that have developed quite vividly. Style to the gentle sound, which is aligned with the general high-level players. As opposed to the lack of emphasis on listening Oฉegฉeag than any other player, but politeness is not the lack of detail. With a sound that is more breathless silence. Lapa reveal the depth of the soundstage. The plane of the layers of the piece of music it would be even more obvious. Especially when used with an analog amplifier. By connecting to the Balance XLR further demonstrates the extraordinary versatility of this player. But this is the conclusion that If listening to music (especially the 2-channel) should be connected to the analog out is it? I think it depends on usage patterns and the types of amplifiers amplifier it.
If the analog amplifiers amplifier. Does not require much thought. (Because it is a choice) connection 95 via the analog out. (Especially the balance), by virtue of the high quality DAC, the player, this machine has the potential to be good enough for listening to music doing. With the ability to like, even without the Media Server with the extreme high end. But it was not uncommon. The act of playing digital audio. The Studio Master files. (24-bit/96-192kHz WAV, FLAC) or even a home file Lossy compressed (like MP3, WMA) External Storage via a variety of results, I assume it's very impressive. If you used the Systems include a set of music. Because the other side, it provides the opportunity to listen to music for digital media with Vision 2 channel is routinely just the CD standard Red Book, or does it support only MP3 home course on these issues 95 as well. than a CD player at the same price. (The sound of the Studio Master files can not be compared to a CD. It is not at all similar), and the results obtained through the analog out, it's clear that 95 is more than 93.
If you want to connect on their part. Multi-channel analog out. Setting the Speaker Configuration. The important point that can not be ignored. Although it is not very flexible as the AVR, but can be used.
If the AVR is connected to a compatible digital audio input. How should I connect? I would like to split into two cases, the first case being heard in the multi-channel, such as SACD Multi Channel or sound True HD Audio Blu-Ray, even though 95 is the encoded surround sound to output through it. Multi-channel analog. However, because the features used to compensate for the speaker system set up has less flexibility than It's probably not as good as the potential use of this system through the AVR and the analog signal through the AVR is not a pure (May be subject to the ADC) the results of this connection, it may not be much clearer than analog amplifiers with positive real number line, which requires a lot of connections with 5.1/7.1. digitally. (Using the same cable), it is more convenient. And features to help compensate for the speaker system set up, the AVR also gives users the advantage of listening to Ford's multi-channel a greater potential for Her. The sound is better than chance, it is possible. (Especially if the environment is not favorable).
Note: If the audio system is in use. Preamp - power amp. The Integrated Amplifier Oppo 95/93 to have an option. "The digital volume control" selection by the user to control the output volume level of the player via the remote control. It can be configured via the setup menu, Audio Processing -> Output Volume is Variable (Fixed as the default), this is useful? It is also helpful to be able to plug directly into the signal. Power amplifiers have. (Or connected to the Main in the integration of the amp) without having to go through a pre-media control. However the results. Is better or worse, format the output register. If this could be used. Special attention. If one fine day I pretend to change the Output Volume is Fixed (or caused to him. Or even reset back to factory settings) may have a different ear. The speakers are not broken. (Or maybe the amp down) take it easy, especially for use with power amplifiers, power elephants of all I feel also extends to users who want to bring headphones to use with 95 /. 93 by using the headphones directly into the analog output. (Which would require an adapter to convert from Stereo RCA to 1 / 8 "or 1 / 4" Stereo Phone jack) However, this method could be used with high-impedance headphones. Apart from this, I need to go through as do typical Headphone Amp.
The second is to get a 2-channel source is connected to the AVR via digital inputs (HDMI, Coaxial, Optical) burden will fall on the AVR's DAC at this point if there is better quality. The result is better than analog connections. But it would be a rare opportunity. Especially when used with inexpensive AVR. So instead should connect via analog or not. When I connect the AVR's analog virtue of the 95 high-quality DAC. The result would be a windfall. It has a condition that results from the AVR may be full. When compared to analog amplifiers amplifier and real.
Pure Audio on Oppo 95.
Another interesting feature is the emphasis on music. When the Pure Audio mode, the system will work in other parts of 93/95 is required for the audio. (Which may be interfering with the sound quality), for example, disable the video. Display power, etc. Even if the differences affect sound quality. It is not clear as much as the Universal player that has this function. (And higher), such as the Lexicon BD-30, Denon DVD-A1UD that would result in a better way in the same manner. The results will come in the form of "a breathless silence," This is not an eye-catching features and stunning sound exciting. You may even feel that it sounds less rough. Sometimes I mix into bur that was offset by reduced slightly. But the tone changes to something smoother. Or the Lapa to clear up anything that is not an "Impact" with the ear, too, that it will provide "in" with what they are hearing is the so-called. "The Music," the conclusion is that if the music does not want to see the music from CD, SACD, or even listen to digital audio files via External Storage Devices To listen to Mode Pure Audio enhances sound quality on it. (Turn off the TV screen projector with me at all. Saves power. It's a little background may be reduced to a).
Note: Do not be confused with Pure Audio mode, the AVR is the AVR for Pure Audio system will cut the processing of optional features related to voice them all. The transmit audio on the "Pure" is (of course, that this method can cut the ADC when the input signal is analog out), but the process, some of which may be necessary to set up a speaker system. The attenuation correction. Or compensate for the environment. Will be working out as well as Bass Management (in case you want to use a subwoofer for the low frequency sounds) or Room Correction, it is suitable for use in an environment that is "Pure" and, as a result. that may not be as good as it should, but a good "sample comparison" before deciding whether to take me on my best.
With so many features that you still would not be much but the key is to put the utility. It's not just useless. But can it actually works. It results that the response has been very active. Player this machine. Therefore worthy of the position. "Mhakaฬ the Universal player" literally!

The notes to the score.
- Design is not noticeable. Out to be normal again. But inside is packed with equipment selection and quality of the video. And most importantly, the audio. Structural strength (body and Transport), the second of Universal's top players are reasonably priced, but very far apart, it is unlikely to be serious. If you find other options at this price level is a little difficult. - Qdeo VDO Processing Technology is not new in the current (in the AVR and player and some sporadic), however, the potential of the chip Kyoto-G2 from Marvell combined with any other promotion under the body of 95 results. The outstanding Less in the lower floor of the power that would result in a brighter image. It has been clearly observed. - The upgrading of 93 and was the subject of a great audio. This advantage makes it sound better if I do not know how. In particular, the balanced analog outputs. (A lower balance) to be suitable for use with music. The connection is via a digital (HDMI) with the home theater. The benefits as well. Although the distance is not much. - 3D Blu-ray player that combines the functions in it to become HD Player to a turn, but the potential of voice and video over the page to the eye than the Media Server but it is featured online content that has come to. (Including the new addition), the Thai people can not win ... - The flexibility of the access point's full HDMI Out 2 slots for SATA input on the wireless lan + adapter also a free carrying case with out here, if the BD High Definition Benchmark Disc (Spears & Munsil) as the model 83 I love it. - May be difficult for me to pay for those just getting serious about home theater. If a user is looking for a quality player with a medium level of challenge, but their overall impact on the high end it is not difficult to pay out of pocket money, perhaps.
