- Mine runs warm too, but I don't think this is unusual. At least it does not have the cooling fan that the previous generation Oppo had...
- Couldn't tell you. I was initially using mine with blu rays, and really just started delving into using it for streaming, CDs, DVD-As, SACDs, and Blu-ray audio. Moving Pictures on Blu ray audio is incredible.
- Peculiarities? Once in a blue moon, when I start the 105D, it takes >30 seconds to be ready to accept a disc. It appears like its processing something, then is eventually ready. I've had mine for about a year, and this has happened maybe 4 or 5 times. With the relatively low occurrence, combined with stellar tech support, I'm not too worried about it.
I like how all the outputs are on when playing audio. I have the balanced out to an ARC system, the RCAs to a 9090DB, and the HDMI to my SSP, and I don't need to go into the menu to activate or inactivate outputs.
Some really minor gripes:
- It was supposed to have a decent head amp, but I've been disappointed with it. My comparison is with standalone HP amps, so I guess its really not fair, but still...
- I use the Oppo media player to stream my audio files off my NAS, and I wish it had a better layout. SONOS is so much better at this.
That's all I can think of.
Enjoy your new toy!!
