The 203 is not a bad performer for music, but the 205 takes music output up several notches. It's truly an audiophile caliber machine. It's like where do I start. Dual power supplies for the lowest noise floor, dedicated stereo analog inputs, upgraded DACs at the analog stage, a dedicated HDMI audio input, and also an asynchronus USB input supporting Hi Res music files from your computer....none of these feature are present in the 203.
Is there a night and day difference in sound quality from the 203? No, but there is a difference. Bottomline, if you have a good set of speakers and you want the closest reproduction to what the sound engineers and producers intended, the 205 should be on your list to demo. If you have floorstanding speakers that cost $500 for the pair...there's nothing wrong with your speakers, but this is not the unit for you.
I have a pair of B&W 804 speakers. Old, but above average performers. Listening to this machine in 2 channel or multi-channel SACD is the best I've heard these speakers sound.
Con...no streaming to Netflix, etc. built in. To be honest...I think that's a bigger negative for the 203.
This unit is built with a rock solid chassis and a toroidal power transformer you won't even find in many, so-called mid-range home theater receivers or amplifiers. With a host of outputs and inputs, there is no feat this machine can't handle. In fact, with the wide array of INPUTS it has, the reference level Oppo machine acts as a first rate, top-of-the-line DAC for a multitude of digital audio sources such as other CD transports (like my classic Krell MD-10) or a USB drive loaded with music. I used the HDMI input to strap my Playstation 4 but it also works very nicely with the Apple TV.
Apart from the brand new reference SABRE DACs this employs, it also carries the coveted Balanced XLR outputs for a pure 2 channel audio signal to your preamp or integrated amp. In my case, My Oppo 205 is sent XLR out (I used the Better Cables brand Blue Truth II found here on Amazon, another fantastic bargain for audiophile grade products) to the Cambridge Audio Azur 840a V2. It is a beautiful combo that delivers some stunning performance to a pair of Joseph Audio RM 7si monitors via some JPS Audio Super Conductor 2 speaker cables.
I have zero regrets except that my Krell 64x DAC (formerly paired with my MD10 transport) will likely find retirement given the stellar performance of the Oppo UDP-205.
So far as video performance, I would laud the same praise upon it as I have for it's superb audiophile characteristics.
Oppo truly has the midas touch but produces on a total value budget. If you are looking for an elite CD player for your high end system, or an elite Blu-Ray/4K player, you CAN actually have both in a single unit for a very reasonable price.
Excellent and HEAVILY recommended
