Re: ModWright Oppo BDP-105
Have any of you guys tried the headphone output of the Oppo? I know Dan does not alter the headphone out in any way. In my unit with higher impedance headphones (AKG K-601; 120 ohms), I hear a definite low level hiss. Also, as the player initializes for CD/ SACD playback I can hear low level crackling through the headphones. The hiss is constant and does not change with volume. With lower impedance headphones (Audio Technica ATH-AD900x) the hiss and crackling are unbearable. Many have alluded to the headphone outs of the Oppo being marginal at best, but I'm not sure if there is a problem with my headphone out. I guess my Oppo warranty is voided since I've had the unit modded. That being said, the sound via speakers is awesome!

I have not tried the headphone out on mine - I have used the LS100 headphone out which sounds fantastic! I will check on mine when I get home from work tonight and let you know.

OK, I plugged in my AKG K550s as soon as I got home - dead silent via the Oppo 105 headphone out. It's actually more quiet than the LS100 is, although the LS100 headphone out definitely does sound better!
I'm betting that the headphone out might have had an issue prior to the mod being done. You might contact ModWright and see if they have any suggestions or recommendations, and if they are willing to take a look at it for you if it is worth you shipping it to them.
Re: ModWright Oppo BDP-105
Thanks for that, JJinID. There clearly is an issue with my headphone out, likely some sort of electrical interference. I guess I'll have to chat with Dan and see how to proceed. I really don't want to send the unit back...I've only just gotten it! Oppo is local to me in the Bay Area, but they probably wouldn't look at it... Will keep you posted...
Re: ModWright Oppo BDP-105
Hi guys I am new here .
just got question for JJinID
I have oppo95 with tube modification and I listen through my hard disc drive.
The esata connection sounds better than USB connection.My question is oppo 105 doesn't have esata connection so it misses out ,so that means for digital music oppo 95 mod should be better than oppo105 mod
I think!Need your impression.I asked this question to Dan but he said he doesn't have much comparison with esata and USB connection .
i have done comparison on my modified oppo 95 and esata is better.please advise what would be the best way to play my downloaded (video-you tube ) and high res files in oppo 105 as I am thinking of replacing 95 with oppo 105.
thanks.

My two cents (and I own both the 95 and 105) - either get both or stick with the 95. Is there a reason for the switch?
Re: ModWright Oppo BDP-105
Thanks
the reason for changing from oppo 95 to oppo 105 is just to improve upon sound .Bit dry and not as much contolled Punch in mid bass.!!!I haven't tried many sources out there and my oppo 95 very very very practical as I get to hear all digital music and my videos which I download from YouTube.
i don't know if I can improve upon the sound
may be
1-changing the source(keeping the practicality and price point of modified oppo95 in mind)
2-Changing my Pre which is Anthem AvR Mrx 700(tried bryston sp26---no luck,not clear,too much bass and boomy
3-tried connecting oppo95 directly to power amp bryston14bsst2(very very clean sound very well controlled but no dimension ,flat ,sound stage got small .
4.thinking of try Pre ARC 27!
5.Today a acoustic professional is coming to asses my room.
6.thinking of changing bryston 14sst2 to pass lab 305.5!
i can only make one move at this point of time because of my financial condition can't afford to loose too much money experimenting.
thanks guys .

It's not your source or amps IMO. Your preamp will only have some impact on "punch" and mid bass.
What speakers do you have? That's my guess for lacking punch and mid bass.
