Marantz UD5007 & UD7007
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do the Marantz UD5007 and UD7007 compare to the OPPO BDP-103 and 105, respectively? Very few reviews are available for these Marantz players.

Thanks.

UD7007 vs BDP-103
 

I just sold my UD7007; never used it because I also have an Oppo 103. Oppo is a much better product in a number of ways. The Oppo's retail price is also about 41% of the Marantz' price.

I sold my Oppo 105 and replaced it with a UD5007 (as a slave transport via its HDMI out) as I found the sound of my Marantz 8802A more to my liking vs that of the Oppo (better top to bottom resolution) I also prefer the video from the UD5007 as it has a more film like presentation. If planing on using the player as a means of decoding audio the UD5007 is no slouch in that department as well.
