RE: Denon vs Oppo

173.8.149.185

I have a stock Oppo BP83 and there is no better video machine made today. However, the audio is not that great. IMHO-the audio borders on being pretty bad. It sounds hard,cold and bright---just like what people complain about digital as opposed to analog. Any modded Denon will absolutely blow away the audio in an Oppo. But the Oppo is absolutely incredible on video. For what it will cost to modify the Oppo you can buy an outboard DAC for around $500-600 and then it will sound decent. There are allot of very good out board DACs out there. I have a Keces 131 MK2 and it sounds really good---if you install a set of Burson opamps then it will sound amazing !! A moddifed Oppo later will not have any resale value that's why I like an outboard DAC because if you change video machines later you can use the out board DAC.
