Matches what I heard -- the 95, instead of a 93SE.
What sort of stand-alone DAC would be clearly superior to the 95's outputs? This is not a challenge, I have not kept up with DACs and am just curious. If you save $500 on the player and spend $500 on the DAC, do you win at the same price point?
To put this in context, I have an Oppo 83 (not the SE) and need another BD player to replace an aging DVD in our bedroom. Cost-wise I may just pick up an inexpensive player, but another option is to follow my usual progression of moving the Oppo to the upstairs family room, and older Sony BD on up to the bedroom. Then, I would get the 93 or 95 for the media room. Since I am in no hurry, I could potentially save for a few months and get the 95, or the 93 and a DAC, this summer.
Curious, thanks - Don
