Oppo BDP-105 Introduction
Oppo Digital has been producing some of the best Universal Blu-ray players for some time now. The BDP-105 is their 3rd generation “audiophile”player.
We found the prior Oppo BDP-83-SE and BDP-95 players really did offer upscale performance in their analog outputs while still retaining the great video prowess of their less expensive offerings (the BDP-83 andBPD-93, respectively). Like the BDP-95, the new BDP-105 has balanced analog outputs along with a host of other upgrades. These upgrades apply to both of the new models, the BDP-103 and BDP-105, respectively.  Our review of the BDP-105 focuses solely on analog audio performance since the HDMI audio and video performance between the new BPD-103and BDP-105 players are identical and have already been covered in our
The BDP-105 does come with a slightly higher price tag of ,199 than its9 BDP-95 predecessor and is more than double the price of the new BDP-103 model. Is it worth it? Let’s take a deeper look at the analog performance of the BDP-105 so you can answer that question for yourself.
The same designer also contributed to the BDP-105’s analog audio section. The BDP-105 is said to retain the BDP-95’s very detailed and accurate sound, and the performance measurements are almost identical to the BDP-95. The BDP-105 uses the same dual ES9018Sabre32 Reference DAC chips as the BDP-95. In the BDP-95, they ganged the 4 pairs of the stereo DAC outputs to increase the currentoutput.  The higher current output enabled them to use a smallercurrent to voltage conversion resistor, and a smaller resistor hasless thermal noise than a larger resistor. In the BDP-105, Oppoinitially tried to use the same ganged DAC outputs design, but foundthat the performance became worse.  The additional USB DAC,coaxial, optical input and headphone output made it impossible todesign an optimized PCB layout if they continued to stack the DACchannels.  The suboptimal layout was the cause of the degradedperformance.  After many attempts and revisions, Oppo decided tono longer stack the DAC channels.  The new design assigns onepair of DACs for the RCA output, one pair for the XLR, and two pairsstacked for the headphone amplifier.  The new configurationallowed Oppo to create a clean layout that minimized the interferenceand crosstalk.  The downside is they lose the benefit of thelower thermal noise from the I/V resistor, but by beefing up thepower supply and separating the stereo and multi-channel boards, Oppowas able to maintain the excellent bench test performance.  TheBDP-105’s stereo audio specification is listed to be the same asthe BDP-95, and their internal test results actually show that theBDP-105 is slightly better. This design approach resulted inincreased cost and manufacturing complexity, but enabled them tobetter route the signals, power and ground so they could ensure ahigh level of performance for all modes of operation.
