OPPO PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphones Preview [0.24] by smunz,April 08, 2014 09:00

OPPO's new PM-1 headphones seem to be the natural follow on to their recently announced HA-1 headphone amplifier. Priced at $1099, these aren't exactly low budget cans. However, the PM-1 isn't exactly your average headphone, boasting a high tech planar magnetic driver, not to mention high end materials. Suffice it to say, given OPPO's history, we have high expectations. Curious to know what else OPPO has up their sleeves? Click to keep reading.

Oppo OPDV971H DVD Player Review [0.24] by clint,October 10, 2005 20:00

It seems as if everyone is talking about the Oppo (‘oh-poe’) OPDV971H DVD player. The main attraction behind this new player is its DVI output and ability to upconvert DVD source material to both 720p and 1080i (in addition to the expected 480p). It is also HDCP-free, making it a player that is compatible with both HDCP and non-HDCP equipped displays. On board Faroudja DCDi processing (via an FLI-2310 chip) makes for an even more impressive package as the picture coming off of this $199 DVD player can rival other players priced much higher.

Oppo DV-970HD DVD Player Review [0.24] by clint,July 12, 2006 20:00

Oppo has seemingly cornered the market on buzz, becoming the “Apple Computer” of rumor and forum discussion. Following the success of their flagship (and still shipping) OPDV971H upconverting DVD player, they naturally felt inclined to release a new upconverting DVD player that also handles SACD – for $50 less. Now, before you fall off your chair and pull out your credit card, realize that this is a different player. Instead of the Faroudja video processing, this new player utilizes a different chipset and scores slightly lower in our video performance testing.

Dolby Atmos Compatibility Issues on Older Blu-ray Players [0.24] by smunz,December 04, 2014 09:00

While you need at least a pair of height speakers and a new A/V receiver to enjoy the benefits of Dolby Atmos, the theory was that you didn't need to upgrade your Blu-ray player. However, we've found that users of some older model BD players may experience audio dropouts with some TrueHD and Atmos tracks. The issue relates to a feature called Seamless Branching, which was added to Dolby TrueHD after the original spec, (not to mention quite a few Blu-ray players), was released.

Oppo Sonica Wi-Fi Speaker Review [0.24] by anthony,July 27, 2016 01:00

Audioholics reviewed the new Oppo Sonica Wi-Fi speaker this week and the old adage “Good things come in small packages” couldn’t be truer here. This $300 Hi-Fi wireless speaker has elegant styling and great sound and is easy to set up and use. But, can it compete in a crowded market of name brand companies like Sony and Bose? Read on to find out and be sure to watch our YouTube video review.

OPPO PM-3 Closed Back Headphone Review [0.23] by wayde,July 06, 2015 14:00

The PM-3 is Oppo’s third time around designing a planar-magnetic, closed back headphone after its highly acclaimed PM-1 and PM-2. But the PM-3 stands apart from its higher-end forefathers in a few key ways. The PM-1 and PM-2 are essentially the same design, both high-end luxury open-backed headphones for those willing to pay a premium for uncompromising performance. The PM-3 is designed with portability and more mainstream audience (and price) in mind. Let’s see how the company fared.

Plus, we do a full comparison to the player we were all talking about before this week - the Oppo BDP-83.

Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray Player Review: The Universal Audiophile Dream Machine? [0.23] by Gene,March 06, 2015 09:00

The Oppo BDP-105 Universal Blu-ray player is truly an audiophile’s and videophile’s dream machine. From the BDP-105’s impeccable benchmark performance to its excellent build quality and usability, this player leaves you wanting nothing. The BDP-105 not only raises your expectations of what all Blu-ray players should be like, but it also elevates what you’d expect from a high end transport costing thousands more. If you are fully intent on building a two-channel and multi-channel system of equal measure, I simply can’t make a higher recommendation than this product. Until Oppo builds a real world Star Trek holodeck, you will be hard pressed to better your A/V experience with any other source device. Live long and prosper and long live Oppo!
