About the Exemplar Audio eXpo T105 Tube Modified Oppo BDP-105

The Exemplar Audio eXpo T105 is a highly modified version of the Oppo BDP-105 universal player, designed and upgraded by Exemplar Audio. It supports playback of CDs, hi-res SACDs, and digital inputs including USB, Toslink, and SPDIF. The key modification involves replacing the original analog output stage with a direct feed through high-quality film capacitors to a new two-stage, directly coupled tube analog stage with actively loaded, low impedance outputs. This tube stage uses high voltage proprietary shunt regulators and fully regulated filaments, with 1% metal film resistors and a separate outboard power supply connected via a fully shielded umbilical cord. The modifications significantly enhance sound clarity, range, and soundstage, lifting a veil to reveal more detail and nuance in music. The unit includes the Blu-ray player, power supply, remote, HDMI cable, USB wireless adapter, tubes (2 RCA 6BZ7 and 2 Russian 6H6p), and factory packaging. It operates at 115V and weighs approximately 17.3 lbs. The The player is praised for its versatility and high-end audio performance, making it a standout in universal players with tube analog output quality.
