Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Review When long time HTF sponsor Oppo announced they were getting into the headphone market, I was very excited for a multitude of reasons. First, and probably most obvious to those members who own an Oppo player, is that Oppo doesn’t build any mediocre...

Looking for best possible digital version. Heard the current remasters are less than stellar. I don't have anything that handles SACD. Could handle DVDA, but I've heard that might be a sham. Confused as some think it is sourced from the same material (is it?) that the SACD is and that seems to...
