The Region-Free UDP-205 is more costly than the 203 and comes with a different set of features, but for anyone who's serious about audio the 205 is a must have unit that provides excellent control and compatibility for a wide-range of use.
What makes the UDP-205 so special? It begins with the components. This machine is equipped with a torodial power supply to enhance power delivery why reducing interferences that can be caused by traditional steel-core transformers. It provides cleaner, more focused energy to each and every audio component in the system, resulting in exceptional sound clarity and depth. The machine is also equipped with two SABRE PRO DACs (ESS Technology ES9038PRO) - one for 7.1-channel audio and another for stereo - to ensure the richest and most powerful sound regardless of your audio setup. The headphone amplifier also utilizes the high-end SABRE PRO DAC, giving headphone performance that is unmatched even by Oppo's previous machines. Furthermore, the unique asynchronous USB DAC input supports sample rates of up to 768kHz PCM and DSD 512, and can convert digital signals from other home theater components to analog, bypassing the low-fidelity DACs of computers, video game consoles, etc.. A second audio zone can also be setup, allowing you to utilize the 7.1-channel system to feed audio to speakers in a second part of your home such as a bar, basement or outdoor speakers for improved coverage and acoustics.
Featuring an HDMI audio jitter reduction circuit, the Region-Free Oppo UDP-205 offers increased audio timing and accuracy when the audio-only HDMI port is used for connecting your audio signal. This improves the quality of both PCM and DSD audio, while aiding in the production of error-free audio when using compressed bitstream audio. No matter how this player is setup and configured, it offers the utmost flexibility for superior sound quality. In the case of the Region-Free Opo UDP-205, the statement "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true. This player offers the best of the best with no boring fillers or unnecessary features.
