How much of an upgrade would this be as far as picture quality over my Integra 30.3 player? How about audio improvement stream from my computer? Any input is appreciated.

    Forgot to mention that this will be paired with a Yamaha cxa5000 preamp if that make any differences.

    Thanks for the input Dskip. I have a chance of snagging a used one up for under 200. I'm on the edge of buying it but might hold off due to your input. Also picking up a pair of nht classic 2 for under 100. Figure I'll buy it, listen to it, if I don't like it I can resell it for the price it pay for it.

    Under 2 bills for a 103? Yeah, deal of the year so far if you ask me...
    but don't ask me, I am crying thinking that that's all my 103 is worth. :'(
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    180 to be exact. I actually like the unit compare to my Integra 30.3. A lot more function. What's the best way to set it up for music purposes?

    I would give the 103 some time in your rig first, you might like the way it sounds as is.
    Considering it's "only" a BDP, it does a nice job handling many things. JMHO, of course

    I really like my arcam rDAC, but have never heard the oppo so can't compare. What hifi gave it a great review in 2011.

    And here is the newer arcam which I have been tempted by in a comparison with the chord mojo: http://www.whathifi.com/arcam/irdac-ii/vs-chord-mojo/review
    Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es; Squeezebox Touch with Bolder Power Supply
    Game Room 5.1.4:     Denon AVR-X4200w; Sony UBP-x700; Definitive Technology Power Monitor 900 mains, CLR-3000 center, StudioMonitor 350 surrounds, ProMonitor 800 atmos x4; Sub - Monoprice Monolith 15in THX Ultra
    Bedroom 2.1    Cambridge Azur 551r; Polk RT25i; ACI Titan Subwoofer
