    Have a 103D here used mainly for streaming video and the occasional Bluray.
    Wanted a "video squeezebox" and this is it.

    Streaming Flac and hires music files from the Oppo into a Dac can be superb sounding...can spit out DSD to a suitable Dac too.
    "Different" but not better or worse than my Transporter into the same Dac to be honest...prefer the sound from the Transporter though and I get to use Roon with it, so that's my daily driver for music.

    BTW I watch Netflix from my Oppo...my Telly has it too as well as being able to cast from my phone 'n tablet.
    Compared them of a wet Sunday afternoon and the Opoo's implementation is MUCH better. Seriously...much.
    Again...its that thing of doing the same thing "on paper" but quality will always out?

    Oppo's are a helluva piece of kit, seriously...they cure that nagging feeling that maybe you COULD do better?
    With Oppo kit....no you can't.
    Like buying a Leica camera... not the cheapest, but, you know...
