Oppo BDP-105 Redefines the Blu-ray Universal Player (Again!)

New ESS SABRE32 Reference ES9018 DAC, New Asynchronous USB DAC, New Headphone Amp, New Improved Transport, New Heavy-Duty Chassis, and Many More Upgrades

The BDP-105 Blu-Ray Universal Player is the culmination of Oppo's relentless drive to create the world's best audio devices and this the finest component Oppo has ever created. There isn't a single aspect of this player that hasn't been improved over the previous generation player. Better DACs, better analog section, better chassis, better transport, better power supply and no more fan, the BDP-105 is truly a remarkable player. Oppo even added a great sounding headphone amp, a USB DAC and tons of other goodies. If you've been waiting for a do-it-all-in-one-box unit that sounds great, looks great, works great and has every awesome feature known to man, the Oppo BDP-105 should be the only machine on your list.

"The BDP-105 is a fabulous piece of digital engineering that represents spectacular value for its features and functionality alone. It is sonically accomplished too, delivering breathtaking clarity and detail, the likes of which many high-end CD players struggle to achieve. The BDP-105 is a truly accomplished universal player with the greatest all-around appeal of any source device I have ever tested. Period!"
– Richard Stevenson, HiFi News, March 2013

Designed from the ground up with components optimized for enhanced analog audio performance, the BDP-105 is an entirely new machine. Features include an all-new analog audio stage powered by two ESS Sabre32 Reference Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC), balanced (XLR) & unbalanced (RCA) dedicated stereo outputs, a Toroidal linear power supply, and asynchronous USB DAC input. These high-grade components are housed in a rigidly constructed metal chassis and work together to deliver exceptionally detailed and accurate sound quality.

“Whether you use it for multi-format disc playback, for network streaming, or to use as a DAC at the heart of a computer audio system, the BDP-105 will consistently serve up levels of sonic refinement and sophistication that belie its modest price…trust us on this one: The Oppo is worth it!”
- Chris Martens, HiFi+, February 2013

The Oppo BDP-105 enhances your home theater experience with four times the resolution of Full HD 1080p by up-scaling all video sources to 3840 x 2160 output resolution. The BDP-105 also takes your standard DVD, Blu-ray, and other video content to the next dimension by converting them into 3D with the simple press of a button, and can also adjust the depth and eye convergence levels to suit your personal preference. Easily connect external devices such as set-top boxes and network streaming devices to take further advantage of the excellent audio and video processing functions by the BDP-105. By bypassing the low fidelity, poor quality DAC of traditional computer soundcards, the BDP-105 turn any computer into a high performing multi-media source by converting digital audio to analog through the ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC. If your computer can play it, the BDP-105 can convert it to analog.

“Oppo has raised the bar, and I honestly can’t imagine recommending any other product with more enthusiasm. The BDP-105 is an audiophile’s delight and the most complete performance package I’ve seen from a Universal Blu-ray player.”
– Kris Deering, Home Theater, April 2013

For additional convenience and flexibility, the BDP-105 can convert digital signals from cable and satellite boxes, televisions, video-game consoles and other digital transports with coaxial and optical digital outputs to analog. Digital Media Player (DMP) and Digital Media Renderer (DMR) features enable wired or wireless access of audio, picture, and video files stored on DLNA-compatible digital media servers such as a computer or network storage device (NAS). The BDP-105 also comes with an experimental feature that can access video, audio and picture files shared by computers on the local network via the Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. For a more intimate listening experience, a pair of headphones can be connected directly to the BDP-105's built-in headphone amplifiers. The headphone amplifier is connected directly to the ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC and offers a unique performance advantage over standalone headphone amplifiers.

The BDP-105's DAC is one of the most important components for digital audio playback. The SABRE32 Reference ES9018 from ESS Technology is the world's best performing 32-bit audio DAC solution targeted for high-end consumer applications and professional studio equipment. With the ESS patented 32-bit Hyperstream DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the SABRE32 Reference DAC delivers an unprecedented DNR (Dynamic Range) of up to 135dB and THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise) of -120dB, the industry’s highest performance level that will satisfy even the most demanding audio enthusiast. The BDP-105 uses two ES9018 DAC chips - one for the 7.1-channel output, and another for the dedicated stereo output.

The BDP-105 features a dedicated 2-channel analog output with specially optimized ES9018 DAC and output driving stages. The stereo output offers both XLR balanced and RCA single-ended connectors. The balanced output features a true differential signal path all the way from the DAC to the 3-pin XLR connector. By transmitting a pair of differential signals, the balanced output provides better common-mode noise rejection and improves signal quality. Individual analog 7.1-channel surround outputs are ideal for connecting to a 7.1-channel or 5.1-channel surround sound system. The BDP-105 delivers an incredible sound stage and an immersive surround experience. The 7.1-channel analog output can also be configured to a stereo down-mix mode as a Zone 2 audio source.

Dolby TrueHD delivers lossless studio master quality audio designed specifically for high definition entertainment. The BDP-105 supports bit-stream output of Dolby TrueHD via its HDMI 1.4a output. It can also internally decode Dolby TrueHD into LPCM and output via HDMI or the 7.1ch analog audio output terminals. Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus audio formats are also supported. DTS-HD Master Audio delivers an auditory experience that matches the lifelike images of high-definition video with up to 7.1 channels that are bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. The BDP-105 supports bit-stream output of DTS-HD Master Audio. It can also internally decode DTS-HD Master Audio and output via HDMI or the 7.1ch analog audio output terminals. (DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS Digital Surround are also supported.)

The BDP-105's toroidal power transformer offers superior power efficiency and much lower exterior magnetic fields over traditional laminated steel core transformers. The BDP-105's toroidal linear power supply provides a very clean and robust power source to the critical audio components.
