That Marantz's build quality is nothing special. Compared against an Oppo BDP-105 it looks pretty lame. That cheap chassis is one telling clue...

Hi agree completely there is no doubt about the quality of the Oppo 105
But i was wondering if, even considering the risk of a failure in the cheap drive, a cheaper blue ray player could work fine as a streamer
I can run an ethernet cable from my router so wi-fi is not needed
A good audio only streamer easily cost > 1000 USD and streams only audio
And often needs an additional DA converter
From what i understand the audio/video circuitry of many BR players gives excellent performance both with audio and video
I will try one ... i like Panasonic units but also Sony.
Thanks again.

Kind regards,
bg
