This is a highest quality universal player that plays just about anything.

Edit to add another picture taken just now while making a player region free and updating firmware:

(technical details of the photo for those interested:Canon 60D DSLR and a 90mm lens handheld/resting on the table, 1/5 second, f6.3 at ISO 400 with 1 and 2/3 stops underexposure to preserve the blackness of the front panel)


You can see from the display that the OPPO 95 has a network connection, HDMI output 1 is active and a DVD is playing the Root menu.
This machine is on its way to a forum member later today and will be in his rack tonight :)

Yes & I'm enjoying it's wonders right now :eek:

Frankly I'm gobsmacked, it trounces everything on BD playback I have come accross & DVD upsampling.

The audio side of it is phenominal to, merry xmas to me :rfl:

Was a pleasure dealing with you Mark as it was previously :) Merry xmas to you & yours!

I don't ever think I have been happier parting with my money, at the time it hurt a bit, but now.... :D

[Ali Tait]

Mark, any chance of trying it steaming audio and letting me know how it sounds?

[jon1]

Me? I have thought about it... Maybe in the not too distant future :)

If I do I'll certainly let you know :cool:

[jon1]

Mark how are the interconnects?:eyebrows:



jon

[Reid Malenfant]

Pretty damn good I guess!

Put it like this, the player itself appears to be improving on the picture side of things, it can't be the HDMI cable as that's seen lots of action ;)

So if the video side is burning in so to speak I guess the audio side is to..

I'm more than happy with the audio quality, I don't think I have spun anything more than once to see if that is improving though - just spinning it's first DVD-A now :)

Thank's mark:)Done

Hmmm, looks like I'm going to have to update mine if I intend to watch Fringe season 3 :eyebrows:

I'll plug the thing in later, hit update & see what happens ;)

[Reid Malenfant]

Well that was as painless as I could ever imagine :eyebrows:

Plugged the player into the homehub, switch on the TV & the player & there was a nice display saying there is new firmware, do I want it? Hit enter & it was all over & done with :D

Cheers for the heads up Mark :cool:

Mark did you do a factory reset?:)



jon

[Reid Malenfant]

No, why would I want to? :scratch:


:eyebrows:

:eyebrows:





Yes what happens you will start to get corrupt dater..And it will create conflicts..;) in the player



jon

[Reid Malenfant]

Look in the manual John, it just says to make sure than nothing is connected into the USB port & no disc should be inserted when updating ;)

There is no mention of resetting to factory specs, though I'm sure this could be done but I don't think I'd want to as watching Fringe season 3 looks like it'd be problematic :(

If you reset to factory specs then yes you'd need to as it'd be as new when you bought it & any updates (such as those we downloaded today) will be wiped...

Yes well you have to do a factory reset every time their is a firmware update;)

[Reid Malenfant]

Apologies for thread crapping, but this is doing my head in :eyebrows:

John, where in the manual for the BD95 does it say this?

Firmware is like a windows update, it's a slight change to the programming - well it's what I thought it was at any rate (though I refuse certain windows offerings)... So if you reset the thing every time you get rid of previous updates, do you want to do that?

Honestly?

Or am I a country mile out here :eyebrows:

Yes mark it is case of having to do this every time... if you do not what any conflicts..ask mg;)

8. Important final step: From the set-up menu, select Device Set-up, Reset Factory Default, and then choose OK to reset the player settings. Enter your customized settings as necessary after resetting.

Have a look on this link and scroll down and look for the red text that says "Important final step":

http://www.oppo-bluray.co.uk/customer-services/firmware/

The new firmware does not fully load until a 'reset to defaults' has been done from the setup menu, only takes a minute to reset and accept the set up menus again.

Cheers Mark, nothing about that in the manual though :scratch:

How does the OPPO sound on red book Mark?:)

[Reid Malenfant]

Very nice indeed, though I'm using the balanced outputs. I don't suppose there would be very little difference between them & the single ended outputs at the end of the day.

As a CD player it's very capable indeed, remarkably so as it happens :) I reckon it would probably out perform my Theta transport & Monarchy Audio DAC :D

[Reid Malenfant]

I thought I'd revisit this thread as things appear to be a tad different now.

I purchased the Jurassic Park trilogy on blu ray & it refused to get past a certain point in the menu. Having looked about it appears it was down to the English versions of the BDs. I figured there must be some new firmware, so plugged the Oppo into my hub, presto...

Downloaded new firmware, did whatever it does & then the player told me it was going to switch off to complete the installation - which it did quite promptly :eyebrows:

Turned it back on & it played all the discs perfectly. None of the previous messing about needed, that's what I call a sensible update :D

[synsei]

Dontcha just luv it when a plan comes together... :D

Hey Mark,

Have you seen the Modwright valve mods for the BDP-95?

http://www.modwright.com/cms/resources/dsc5973smaller.jpg

[Reid Malenfant]

Well that's how I'd have planned it, glad they came to the same conclusion :thumbsup:


On a different note I had BT Infinity installed today. Looks like I'll be able to plug the Oppo in permanently to my hub when I get the new cable exactly where I want it, but at least it's working & it's fast!

Looks interesting & no I haven't :)

Unfortunately it's not something I could really contemplate, those nice glowing tubes sticking out of the top would take up too much rack space :rolleyes:

Well I reckon at any rate :scratch:

:hmm:

:nono:

:donk:
