  1. I can't stand the way they look (the flagship models). That price is truly terrifying.

    Huh. And I had just decided on FLAC this morning...
  9. Foreigner - 4
  10. I have to agree. This thread is one of the highlights of my day.
  11. The Cardigans – First Band on the Moon
  12. I'm not liking the price, either. Considering the state of Sony's finances, I guess they're cashing in on their somewhat distinguished audio heritage for fast bucks... no proprietary ATRAC on this puppy.
  13. Blur – Parklife
  14. Here's a review where they compare the stock vs. a ModWright "Truth" unit: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/modwright-oppo-bdp-105-with-truth-modifications/ The comparison with the Esoteric player was a nice bonus. Now I'd like a comparison of the Audiocom vs. the Modwright vs. the Arcam UDP411 one of the commenters mentions. I'm glad to hear that the DAC and clock in the stock unit are considered top-notch, in addition to the Oppo's reference-quality video processing. I wonder if Oppo buys samples of the modded players for R&D in their upcoming products. Stock, Audiocom, Sound Affairs comparison: http://peteswrite.blogspot.ca/2013/08/modified-oppo-blu-ray-player-audio.html

  20. Have you guys heard about the 128GB iPhone 6 boot loop problem? http://www.dailytech.com/Report+128GB+iPhone+6+Boot+Loop+Issues+Prompt+Apple+to+Abandon+TLC+NAND/article36854.htm
  21. This album is awesome. I got Kylie's Body Language recently, too. It's really good, not as focused as Fever (which I've loved for years), but more ambitious and varied and a lot less claustrophic-sounding.
  22. Annie - Anniemal

  24. That's exciting. I'd still go with the plasma, but it looks like OLED is finally viable in a large format. I wonder if they've found a new way to mitigate OLED's luminance degradation over its lifetime.
  25. My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult – Spooky Tricks
