I have been using an ?Oppo bdp 105d for some time now. Using a USB hub I connected four 4tb drives and other than the limitations you get from HDD like no memory of the last play I have had few issues. Recently I have had 2 issues one when I added a 5th drive movies from any drive have little hiccups here and there though out the movie. I tried a powered USB 3.0 hub with no success.
The other thing that is more important at first was difficult to determine where the problem originated from. Movies started pausing stuttering for long periods of time. Basically not watchable. I thought it might be the Oppo because the original played fine and the copy played fine from the computer. Turns out that the drive may be the issue but it is an intermittent defect some movies play fine but other movies even ones that used to play are now stuttering.
So I am copying all the files to a new drive, if the new drive works does that mean the drive is bad? Or will a full reformat fix the problem?
I am considering the 205d if it becomes available. I need the DSD playback feature. If it fixes all the small issues I have learned to live with. One would be the ability to add more USB drives. Gapless DSD playback is another.
Maybe having built in WiFi will free up USB resources.
I tried posting over at the AVS forum but got no help.
