by David Brown Oppo's new flagship player, the BDP-105, replaces the widely acclaimed BDP-95. It offers even better picture and sound — quite an accomplishment since the BDP-95 was an overachiever that looked and sounded better than players costing much more. But what makes the BDP-105 the new must-have component for audiophiles is its array of digital inputs. Besides letting you enjoy your disc collection like never before, you can connect other digital sources to this player and enjoy its extraordinary sound quality. And with 4K upscaling, the BDP-105 is prepared for the next revolution in picture quality. There isn't another player we know of with this kind of versatility. A universal player that does more than ever Designed for audiophiles and videophiles, the BDP-105 will make the most of virtually any disc you throw at it. 3D and standard Blu-ray movies look amazing. 2D Blu-ray discs and DVDs can even go three-dimensional thanks to the BDP-105's new 2D-to-3D conversion. Movie soundtracks will reach new heights as this player delivers the latest audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio™ with crystal-clear detail. Music will sound fresh and new, especially if you have high-res stereo and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD discs, which will truly sparkle with the BDP-105. The BDP-105's digital inputs — optical, coaxial, USB type B, and HDMI — let you take advantage of the Oppo's superb audio circuitry to enjoy amazing sound from digital sources like an HDTV, computer, game console, Apple TV®, etc. "If ever a product deserved to be considered the Swiss Army knife of digital media playback, the BDP-105 is the one. Whether you choose it for multi-format disc playback, for network-streaming capabilities, or to use as a DAC at the heart of a computer-audio system, the BDP-105 will consistently serve up levels of sonic refinement and sophistication that belie its modest price. Enthusiastically recommended." — From Chris Martens' review in The Absolute Sound, April, 2013 But it's much more than a disc player Thought your A/V receiver was the centerpiece of your home theater? Think again. With several exciting upgrades, the BDP-105 is poised to become a powerful multimedia hub for all your digital sources. With newly added dual HDMI inputs as well as optical and coaxial digital inputs, you can run gaming consoles, network streaming devices like Apple TV®, and other digital sources through the BDP-105 for truly brilliant picture and sound. The front-panel HDMI input doubles as a Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) input for use with compatible smartphones and tablets, so you can send photos, videos and music from your mobile device to your home theater. Bypass your computer's soundcard for a transcendent performance What else is new with Oppo's latest flagship player? It can transform your computer into an audiophile-grade component. Just plug it into the BDP-105's asynchronous USB DAC to minimize jitter and squeeze every ounce of detail from your uncompressed music files, for sound quality that rivals any CD and transport combination. You can even listen through the '105's dedicated headphone amplifier, for DAC and headphone amp performance that by itself would make this player worth the price. Of course, there are tons more features that make the BDP-105 a genuine bargain. Incredible picture quality and 4K-ready Oppo's flagship player is a brilliant choice for serious home theaters that include a large flat-panel TV or projector. Those displays really benefit from a top-notch video source that lets them show their stuff. The BDP-105 features some of the latest and most advanced video circuitry available, like Marvell's latest Qdeo™ processor, the Kyoto-G2H. Blu-ray movies possess beautifully natural detail and texture. And Marvell's upconversion yields extraordinary results with DVDs — you'll occasionally be hard-pressed to tell the difference between DVD and Blu-ray. And with 4K upscaling, you'll be ready for the next generation of Ultra High Definition displays. The BDP-105 also includes a new custom-designed dual-core processor to speed up disc loading and player response times over the previous BDP-95. Uncompromised sound makes this player stand out While this player's picture quality is stunning, it's the BDP-105's sonic capabilities that really make it a star. It handles every multichannel music and soundtrack format out there. Its 7.1-channel analog output makes the BDP-105 the ideal companion for older A/V receivers and preamp-processors that lack either HDMI connections or decoding for the latest surround sound formats. If you use the analog outputs, you'll enjoy sound quality that's superior to that of most A/V receivers. Oppo's fanatical approach to sound combines careful engineering with high-quality parts. For example, the player's dual audio DACs are the top model in the acclaimed ESS Sabre DAC family. Both are 8-channel DACs — one is dedicated to multichannel audio, while the other provides a stereo listening experience characterized by vanishingly low distortion and exceptional detail and soundstaging. Wireless streaming with surprising picture and sound Need more ways to enjoy movies and music? Connect the BDP-105's Ethernet port to your home network, or use the included Wi-Fi® adapter and enjoy Internet movie and music streaming with quality that will surprise you. The '105 supports 1080p streaming for Netflix® and VUDU®, as well as 5.1 surround sound for Netflix and 3D for VUDU. For music, there's Pandora® Internet radio for casual listening, or try downloading high-res FLAC files and putting them on a thumb drive. Pop it in the front-panel USB drive and you'll be amazed at the lifelike sound. If you own an iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®, be sure to download Oppo's free MediaControlHD app, so you can browse and play songs from connected storage drives without turning on your TV. Built like a tank In a world of lightweight Blu-ray players, Oppo's commitment to solid construction is reassuring. The BDP-105's sturdy drive mechanism and advanced error correction help it sail through discs that cause other players to stumble and stall. One nice extra is two HDMI outputs. That's handy for feeding two displays, like home theaters with both a projector and a flat-panel TV. It's also a great solution if you have an HDMI-equipped receiver that doesn't handle 3D: you can send 3D video to your TV over one HDMI while sending multichannel audio to your receiver with the other. The BDP-105 improves upon the '95's design with a reinforced rigid chassis, and passive cooling so there's no need for an internal fan. Like the previous model, the BDP-105 is a pleasure to use, with soft-touch controls on the front panel and one of the best backlit remotes we've seen. Haven't heard of Oppo? For years, Oppo's DVD and Blu-ray players have been favorites with audio/video aficionados. The company has been at the forefront of disc-player design and technology, yet their models are also known for delivering amazing bang for the buck. The BDP-105 is their greatest accomplishment yet, an impressive feat given the tremendous performance of the BDP-95.

Oppo BDP-105 Written By Mike, Tulsa, OK on Monday, December 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit replaced a Sony Playstation 3 that had been used exclusively as a CD and Blu-Ray player. I had recently ripped my music collection onto my computer and was looking for a way to get the best sound quality I could. For years I had heard that Oppo players had exceptional audio and video performance. I was a bit reluctant to spend this kind of money for a Blu-Ray player, but given Crutchfield's reputation for customer satisfaction, I knew I couldn't lose. I am happy Pros: The sound and video quality did not disappoint me. Packaging and documentation were excellent. Cons: None. A USB cable for connecting my laptop would have been nice though.
smOOth OppOratOr Written By Killer B., Columbia, Mo. on Tuesday, November 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the "audiophile" version, with improved performance in the DAC's (digital to analog convertors) and other parts of the audio circuitry over their 103. If the difference in sound quality isn't important to you, or you plan to use a dedicated sound processor, preamp, or receiver connected via HDMI or optical line out, the 103 will serve you just as well and save you a ton of money. The BUILD is more substantial (and somewhat bigger), than their 83/83SE. The PICTURE AND SOUND are about the same, as far as I can tell, as the 83SE (which is very good to superb, depending on your level of discernment or expectations) but of course it adds 3D, & the convenience of inputs to utilize the superb audio section, or to upscale video to either 1080p or, presumably, 4k, if anyone has such a monitor. The HEADPHONE output is also a nice addition. The VOLUME goes in single-step increments from 0 to 100, rather than by 5's, for more precise control whether you want it or not. The REMOTE CONTROL is much more user friendly than that of the 83; you no longer have to be a sharp-shooter to hit the sensor. For battery conservation, the remote no longer lights up any time any button is pressed, but only when the "illumination" button is pressed. A few complaints: Inputs could be more plentiful, the control panel needs actual buttons, the inputs need dedicated buttons on the remote, it needs a way to quit you-tube without powering off, it could let you use 'phones & analog sound both. Pros: Digital inputs for other devices 3d capability, Very good picture, superb sound Cons: Touch screen control panel is hard to see and operate. If you're on You Tube and want to go to a disc, you have to shut the power off first.
The BDP 105: Outstanding overachiever Written By Designer, Gainesville, FL on Monday, May 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's difficult to imagine life without this fine source component that is very impressive from most any aspect, now that it's my daily driver. I already had a good idea of the expected performance, after initially experiencing the demo of the model 83 several years ago. I patiently, yet painfully waited for years, then finally took the plunge with the 105 as my first Oppo purchase. The painfully long wait has been and presently continues as a very rewarding experience, as I imagine the 105 will do so much so well, for years to come. I really wanted an 83 at that earlier time about four years ago; it was that good then. When the excellence of the 83 for example, takes big leaps forward in several areas, the results are spectacular as the model 105 iteration. I have found this, the 105 to be highly intuitive and scalable, as in enabling most every range from basic and simple operation to more complex, with a beautifully intelligent interface to provide the preferred complexity levels of features/operation one may choose for virtually any complexity level preferred. This is engineering success that other brands' designers would do well to realize and apply to their own equipment that is lacking in areas of intelligent, intuitive, operational logic. Pros: The actual, overall performance that shines from most any aspect, coupled with the fine, deeply researched and intelligent execution for easy access to the operational design's functions. I knew from the earlier models that a simple requirement for the best results requires the 105 to connect with the better/best levels of everything downstream, such as the preamp/amp/speakers. The front display is a huge help for the input status at a quick glance, even if a main TV is off, for example. Cons: Slight quibbles would be the odd location of the volume control buttons on the remote and a few overall sequences of operations for various functions; access to go from 'this' input source to 'that' source can seem a bit quirky; again though, very minor overall. A mild warning would be that if a system isn't up to rather extreme, high-end standards, the potential owner will be missing some of the best aspects of the 105's astounding quality, performance and almost absurd level of value.
oppo blue ray bdp-105 Written By john p., fort wayne, indiana on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) the oppo bdp-105 offers all the high end features and quality that Sony, Denon and Pioneer Elite for 1000 dollars less! I am totally satisfied with this purchase and the Crutchfield team that enabled me to do a two mode payment. thanks, Ziggy! Pros: everything Cons: nothing as of yet
Oppo BDP-105 Written By noble100, Noblesville, In on Saturday, February 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought my Oppo 105 from Crutchfield at the end of Jan. 2014. This was one of the best component upgrades I've ever made. This unit replaced an older Sony universal dvd/cd player and I bought the 105 for its superior audio capacities. I didn't realize how versatile this unit is until I set it up in my system; it functions as a limited input preamp, surround sound processor for up to a 7.1 system, computer audio dac for streaming audio files wirelessly from a NAS and an excellent bluray, DVD, DVD-A, SACD and regular cd player. Due to this versatility, I was able to eliminate my VTL preamp and Parasound AV2500 surround preamp/processor from my system. I was also able to connect my 105 in a very direct manner which I believe has lowered my system's noise floor . I'm now connecting the 'Dedicated Stereo' outputs of the Oppo directly to my amplifier via xlr cables. Home theater surround processing is all done internally with no connecting cables to a separate pre/processor. All of the analog outputs for my 5.1 surround system are connected directly via rca cables to my 2 external power amps. One of the great features of the 105 is its ability to be setup to automatically playback in stereo or multi-channel based on the inputted signal. This means that a bluray disk, or multi channel audio disk or file will be played back through all channels (up to 7.1) without any switches or settings being changed. Likewise, any 2-channel source (cd or audio file) is auto played. Pros: Excellent video and audio Versatility Cons: Not inexpensive No others
An unbelievable Swiss knife of digital audio Written By MiK, CT on Sunday, February 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The more I listen and watching with a help of OPPO-105, the more I am asking myself "how did I live without it". I can sing allocates for hours, but a lot of reviewers already did point out great audio and video qualities of this machine. There is literally nothing it cannot do, and do great. Please make sure that for stereo listening you use balanced out - the sound IMHO is significantly superior (if your amplifier or pre have them). Other suggestion - set output to 1080p24, it will make great improvements in video (if your displya of course supports it). And tinker with HDMI output video settings a bit - small changes can make improvements you like. I found video from HDMI 2 less impressive (they have different processor there) and use it only for multichannel direct DSD streaming from SACDs. Outside of music listening (CDs, SACDs, streaming hi-res audio from my DLNA server, etc, etc) it is a magnificent Blu-Ray player, with picture far superior then my old Samsung BR player. What is even more amazing and defies explanation is that sound from HDMI out is superior to my previous player, and difference is not subtle - it was clear as night and day, and my wife also immediately spotted it - even if for movies decoding is done in my HT receiver. Why - I do not know, but I am happily rewatching now my collection of BR movies. Pros: Great video and sound Unbelievable connectivity Great build and finish Cons: Make you spent way too much time listening to music and watching movies.
worth the price ? Written By tridosko, castle rock co on Monday, February 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) good sound reproduction , I use it for alot of music playback . That said , I might have done better with a stand alone cd player Pros: nice sound , nice looks , versitale Cons: Although sound is good , dont know if it is worth the price . I found the video playback to be very average considering the price , Nice , but not that nice
Great overall unit Written By Russ, Long Beach, CA on Sunday, February 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I decided to try the Oppo BDP-105 out because I recently purchased a new Samsung UN55F8000 thru Crutchfield. So I was looking for a Blu-ray player to do 3D as well (which look outstanding in 3D). I also was planning on buying a DAC for my new Adam Audio Artist 5 speakers. So after some long research I decided to give Oppo 105 a try and I was blown away with the build of the unit and the performance of what you can achieve from it. This player basically does everything one would want from streaming from a Apple Ipad or a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone that you can use the Apps to control the 105 with and also select songs from as well. Just Outstanding. But it has some slight negatives below but nothing to major. But at the end I decided to send the 105 back because of what I wanted to do with it did not work out. Basically use the unit from my AV cabinet where my TV is and run XLR and USB cables to my computer desk which is just to far away. But I decided to buy the Oppo 103D Darbee Edition model and also buy the Oppo HA-1 DAC when it comes out so I can get best of both worlds from Oppo. (I just hate have so many cables running all over the floor) Pros: Solid Build Easy Setup Top of the line DAC (Crystal Clear sound connected via XLR at MAX volume with NO hiss, hum or static. My Music sounded very dimensional even with a 2.0 speaker setup Great 3D Blu-ray player Ton of connection on back of the 105 Cons: Player at times seem a little slow but nothing to bad. You can only do ONE thing with the unit at a time meaning if I wanted to stream from my Ipad from the player to listen to music with headphones while a friend is watching a Blu-ray movie the 105 could only do one thing a time. I also noticed on some Blu-ray movies seemed kinda of grainy like the movie "The Fifth Element" the sky looked blue with black dots. (But maybe the movie had a bad Blu-ray encoding)
A fantastic, versatile piece of hardware Written By Jkpdx, Portland, OR on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Oppo BDP-105 is not only a consummate disc player (my SACD and DVD/Audio content has never sounded so good), but it has also transformed watching and listening to everything else. FLAC files streamed over a network sound glorious, Netflix looks fantastic, and DVDs are upscaled beautifully. Oppo tech support has helped with prompt answers to a couple of setup questions - the versatility of this machine allows for lots of options, and they've provided solutions to everything. My only two issues have been completely outside of the Oppo player itself (I have a receiver that will not allow Audyssey processing with analog inputs, and a DLNA media server was causing performance issues on my laptop) Using HDMI for audio works fine with Audyssey, though I can't take full advantage of the Oppo DAC. And using the regular network connectivity instead of DLNA lets me stream music from elsewhere in the house. I have always been a cheapskate, looking for the best possible performance at the best price, and though the BDP-105 certainly is not inexpensive, I feel like I've received fantastic value for the money. A person could easily spend more on just a high end CD player, or a stand-alone DAC, or a music server, and Oppo rolls it all into one component, along with blu ray performance that can't be beat. I've never paid this much for any kind of disc transport before, but I feel I've gotten much more than just a player. Pros: Fantastic video quality from any source, be it disc-based or streaming. Network connectivity that allows me to play anything from anywhere in the house. Audio performance that has revitalized my collection, regardless of the medium. Cons: The size and weight make it a bit inconvenient to do spur-of-the moment reconfigurations, but this is a minor quibble, given the amount of fun you can have exploring all the possibilities of the machine.
OPPO 105 is an AUDIOPHILE WINNER !!! Written By BillP, Vernon Hills, IL on Monday, January 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) OUTSTANDING!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!! The OPPO 105 is the Premiere BluRay, DVD, CD, and HighRes Audio Player EVER!! The first thing you will notice is the incredible build of this unit; truly stunning to look at. The video quality is superb - and will upscale any type of you video you give it. My BluRay collection has a new life - the video is so sharp and the true colors pop. I have over 5,000 CDs; 600 SACDs and 150 BluRay Music discs. The fidelity and crispness of the audio is TOP NOTCH!!! I can't stop playing all my music and begin to hear details not revealed before. The Oppo is attached to my new Yamaha CX-A5000 Pro surround preamp and my older M&K Amps and new Yamaha MX-A5000 amplifiers and the music is produced through a full 5.1 Martin Logan electrostatic surround speaker system. Going to hear the Chicago Symphony twice a month in person, I can tell you that the Oppo is FIRST RATE in every way to reproduce the most subtle nuances of classical music. If you want the best sound, then buy this Oppo 105 player - do not hesitate!!! Order today from Crutchfield!!! Pros: Outstanding Audiophile Qualities and Pro Video reproduction. Great GUI Interface. Plenty of outputs and inputs for both multiple displays; balanced audio; and High Res audio files. Cons: NONE!! FLAWLESS!!!
Oppo BDP-105... 4.5 Stars Written By Anonymous, Maryland on Monday, January 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had my Oppo BDP-105 since Christmas. The audio and video performance has been exceptional. I rate the unit 4.5 stars almost a 5.0 (see cons below) I have my unit hooked up in 5.1 analog audio for movies, SACD, and TV and dedicated 2 ch for CD and MP3. The value to me is the variety of input and output options, especially the ability to use dedicated analog outputs for multi-channel and 2 Ch audio. The two HDMI inputs are also a bonus. If you don't plan on using the analog outputs I would consider a different player. You will be paying for a lot of functionality you won't be using. Pros: Two HDMI inputs The best audio performance I have ever heard. I have played music in the following formats CD, SACD, and DVD. Movies and TV also sound great. I have watched the Hobbit and Star Trek Into Darkness Blu rays and both have sounded great. The video has remarkable detail. You can stream Pandora directly from the Oppo and it sounds great, significantly better than when I streamed Pandora from my IPad directly into my Pre-Amp. Cons: The firmware version out of the box did not sync well with my cable box. Once I updated the firmware the problem was fixed. For the price the Oppo should not have sync issues out of the box. The display on the unit scrolls "screen saver" after a few minutes, which can be a distraction. If you want to stop playing a movie and start where you left off you must either open the door or turn off the player. If you stop & switch functions the disk will start at the top of the menu..
Off da chain Written By dirtyoldG, NYC on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Impressive Written By Fred F, Central NC on Saturday, January 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the 105 to use as the front end on a high resolution 2 channel audio system, replacing a highly respected DAC/transport. I was initially concerned that the sound of the 105 would be too "digital", too etched in the high frequencies. The first CD I played was one on which the vocals were not well recorded; they had a a kind of shrieky sound on some notes. I chose this on purpose as a sort of torture test, thinking that if the 105 could reproduce this as well or better than what it was replacing I might have a winner. Not only did it improve on the vocals but there was more detail overall, more bass slam (not bloated but more impact). The midrange was more detailed but smoother as well. Haven't even tried it as a video player, so I can't comment on that. I love this machine! Pros: Incredibly flexible, plays any format disc, can be used as a stand alone DAC, appears to be solidly constructed. Cons: Haven't come across any
Worth the investment! Written By GaryG, Oregon on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A friend of mine convinced me that the Oppo BDP-105 was worth the investment and, as it turned out, he was right on. The machine is well built and its design features make it a joy to use. I haven't had one issue with it since integrating it into my home theatre system. If you do make the decision to purchase this Blu-Ray player do purchase the Roku stick that is recommended as an option. It will allow the player to receive many more streaming services than are built into the machine's firmware. Pros: The machine's architecture and supporting firmware are rock solid. The machine and its remote control are easy to use. Cons: None that I have encountered to date.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Anonymous, Littleton, co on Friday, December 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent player with excellent support. Recomended highly !
Not Your Average Blu-ray Player Written By Kevin, Camden, Maine on Monday, December 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's hard to add to what's already been said. Set-up is easy, phenomenal video and audio quality. The best on the market and worth every penny! Oh, and it's beautiful! Pros: Easy to use, video and audio quality that is unsurpassed. Cons: Expensive, but worth it!
Very pleased with the BDP-105. Written By Dave, Allentown, Pa on Friday, December 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I chose the BDP-105 for the XLR audio outputs and the SABRE DAC combo. It is in my soon to be home-theater room. I currently am using it a an audio CD player until I purchase a TV. My unit took about 25 to 30 hours of use to "break-in" the audio circuits. It sounded very good out of the box and continued to improve showing speed, accuracy, and detail. I like the WiFi remote for my droid. I found the WiFi easy to set-up. I cannot wait to watch some movies, I suspect I will be very pleased. I don't intend to buy a Smart TV since this does more than a Smart TV. The shipping time was reasonable and it was well packed. I feel I couldn't touch a player that does all of this for twice the price. I would recommend (and have) to my friends. Pros: This unit can be used to perform the functions of a Smart TV. You may not need to buy a Smart TV to watch movies on it. Depending upon your needs, this may help reduce the cost of your TV purchase. Cons: One cannot turn on the unit with the WiFi from my phone when in Stand-by mode, but works fine with the remote and the switch on the front.
Worth it Written By Dash, amherst NY on Saturday, December 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I agree with everyone else , its simply the best :) and thank you Crutchfield for all your help with the other issues you solved, you are first class. I could give you pages of tekkie stuff , but if you are reading this , you already know !! Pros: all
Wow The Oppo BDP-105 is a camp. Written By Star, Rapid City, SD on Monday, November 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Oppo BDP-105 work wonderful and make all my CD,DVD,and Blu-ray Look and sound out of sight. Pros: Lots of Ins and out and a big set forward in sound and video. Cons: None
Wow!!! Written By Ted, Odessa, Tx on Thursday, November 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This player is amazing. After hooking it up, i could see a difference in video quality. If you can get it! This guy is heavy for a blu ray player. It is the size of a reciever. Pros: Amazing, video processing. Sound decoding is second to none. Very well made. Cons: None. It is pricey, but that isn't a con. It is well worth it.
Excellent player Written By Shawn's, Cincinnati, oh on Saturday, November 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an exceptional player. The sound produced by the Oppo significantly opens the soundstage compared to any player I have ever used. The attention to detail and crispness on both ends of the sound frequency range are unparalleled. Video is crisp and pure. I have never watched movies with such brilliant detail in audio and video. CD's took on a whole new life with the Oppo. Menu and setup are easy to use. Highly recommended. Pros: Sound and picture quality Build quality Ease of use Cons: Nothing.
One of the best!!! Written By Charles49, Chicago, IL on Monday, October 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased Oppo BDP-105 and the Cambridge Audio 752 for my dedicated home theater to decided which component complimented my system. I use B&W 800 series speakers, Arcam AV 9, Rotel amps and Purist Audio Speaker cables and interconnects. Both Oppo and Cambridge offered great video and audio. Video output was substantially better than my favorite blu ray player: Panasonic bdp 350 and Sony. However i preferred Oppo over cambridge for the video image, although both players use the same video processor the image on Oppo was more clear and movie like with very little artifacts! I was also very impressed with the Oppos sound quality! I typically favor European systems such as Arcam or Classe but surprisingly Oppo offered a very big sound stage with out brightness for a brand new system! My entire room is sound proof so i am not sure if the room had an impact on my assessment (which mostly likely would). I decided to stay with Oppo and returned Cambridge for all the functionality it offers. In general Oppo offers great video and audio, the sound is a bit more forward but it was ideal for my theater room. And i had no issues with streaming, in matter of fact i watched several movies from Netflix and the speed/picture was excellent. The only reason i give them 4 star is because of the remote. They should consider to make the remote with higher quality material but in general Oppo 105 is an excellent unit. Pros: Great video and audio. High quality construction, so many features! Great unit in general Cons: cheap looking remote
Not As Hoped Written By Fred, California on Monday, October 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had to return this item to Crutchfield, as its dual HDMI outputs did not perform as promised by the sales specialist, who claimed he understood the issue. Pros: Crutchfield was great about honoring their return policy. I am told that Oppo is otherwise a very good unit. Cons: You cannot use the dual HDMI outputs "Dual Output" for two different displays without Oppo stepping down its output to the lesser of the two connected devices. So by example, if one output is to a display that is 7.1 capable and the other only capable of 2.0, Oppo steps down its output to both jacks to 2.0. This can be found on page 55 of the owners manual and was confirmed between Crutchfield and Oppo technical support departments prior to my returning this product.
oppo BDP=105 Written By jmrc, San Diego on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent, much better and improved over my BDP 93. Pros: Great features. Cons: Operating manual should be more useful. Depends on users to help setup and implement the various functions. They need their own web official site with correct info. i.e. "Internet Streaming" "oppo does not offer technical support via email or phone for this feature" . For $1200 I expect more than go Google.
Another winner from Oppo! Written By Andrew F., Mill Valley CA on Friday, August 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I can't add much to all of the glowing reviews for this product other than they are all true! I am notoriously frugal when buying equipment (mostly buying used) but I wanted to get a major upgrade to my CD playback to compete with my excellent vinyl set up. The fact that this unit can also be used as a DAC means that I can sell my old CD player and my DacMagic. CD, SACD, DVD playback is astounding. A big surprise is that my MP3 are sounding almost CD-quality to my ears - especially remastered tracks. Crutchfield is a great vendor and I will buy from them again. Pros: Great DAC, Great CD Playback, Improvent in video quality from my Oppo BDP-80 Cons: None so far..
Dasang Written By Anonymous, San Jose, CA on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent, works smoothly, set up is easy. Audio quality is kind of thin and bright to me.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By ElliottK, Brooklyn, NY on Tuesday, August 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an impressive machine, engineered with professional skill. It is easy to connect and operate, and produces truly exceptional visual and audio quality. It's far more expensive than mass-market DVD players, and it should be.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Joseph C. Elmont NY on Sunday August 4, 2013, Elmont, NY on Sunday, August 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is truly a high end player.There is enough functionality to make any audiophile and videophile happy. The Oppo 105 offers a state of the art video and audio processor that results in amazing picture quality and extremely accurate audio reproduction. I would highly recommend to anyone reading this review to try out Morrow audio and video cables. I have, and have been blown away by the sound quality of these cables.Your system will never sound any better for the price. Pros: Easy set up out of the box with no install issues. Great all around player. Cons: None
OPPO BDP-105 Written By Loi, Colorado SPrings, CO on Friday, August 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall it's an excellent unit. It's easy to use and sound great. Pros: Execellent system. It's simple and easy to use. You can throw anything in it and it will play. Cons: None
Oppo BDP-105 Written By TomV, Palm Coast, Florida on Thursday, July 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) EXCELLENT! Far better than my old Wadia 860. Pros: Easy operation and menus. Cons: None so far!
Excellent Blu-ray player Written By Manuel, Barceloneta, PR on Sunday, July 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic Blu-ray player. It plays all my Blu-rays, DVD's, DVD-audio, SACD and CD's without any problem. This is the player that I wanted since 5 years ago. Recommended Pros: Plays all type of media flawlessly. Also Netflix and You Tube applications runs fast and smooth in this player even connected to wireless. Cons: Can't find any negative commentary about this player.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Mark, Barton, MD on Saturday, July 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good On Screen Menus - Needed Crutchfield Technical Support To Realize To Select "Bitstream" For Optical Cable Use - Everything Else Went Fine Pros: High Quality Construction As Detailed In Crutchfield's Technical Information Cons: None
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Michael, Boston Ma on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A superb addition to my home theater. The reviews don't lie. I read many of them myself before purchasing this amazing universal player. The DAC on this player does a great job of isolating each of the 7.1 channels I am using for the lossless audio formats. Two channel stereo , 6.1 matrix & headphone DAC are all top notch. Now for video quality for 2D content, 3D films & DVD up converting again this a noticeable improvement on similar priced units & and on many of higher end flagships out there. Honestly this is a real bargain for all you get from this one machine. Pros: Well built, great audio & video performance across the board. The back of the player has multiple connection options. I for one favor the 5.1 or 7.1 analog outputs. Cons: Not a thing to complain about if you look at all what you get for your money.
Great Blueray Written By Jerry H., Richmond, tx on Friday, June 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Best blueray I've ever owned. Improved my whole systems sound 200%. Would recommend to anyone that wants to improve their system. Pros: Crutchfield customer service. Had a question about the USB input that was causing some playback issues. They responded back by e-mail and their solution hit the nail right on the head. Cons: Wish inputs had a key on remote for each of their inputs.
Best video from bluray player Written By Rudy, Chicago,IL on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice good quality player. Nothing can touch it in this price range. Are there any other players that sound better out there? Sure but they cost much more. Are there players out there that display better video, you ask. I say I don't think so. Pros: Video, sound, built quality, remote. Cons: No network stand by mode, no built in fan. Made in China.
Mixed Feelings Thusfar Written By GLS, Jacksonville, FL on Sunday, May 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Probably unfair to review this so soon for reasons to be explained. We bought this to use with our church soundboard, replacing an inexpensive 8-year old DVD player. We have thusfar been unable to use it because of apparent sound incompatibilities with the soundboard. We adjusted the remote volume control down to a 15 from its max setting of 100 and set speaker volume to a -5db, speakers set as Stereo L/R. We are using XLR connectors from Oppo to the Soundcraft model GB8-40 soundboard. It is so "hot" I have to have all volume settings to "0." I have tried the 1/4" outs to our board with similar results. We output the video to an Eiki sanctuary size projector and this works just fine; its the audio that is giving us a headache. I guess it "could" be a defective Oppo but I tend to think it is the hookup. We are continuing to try to resolve this problem. Pros: Strong video. Plethora of menu settings (all excellent.) Remote also has settings I did not see in the setup menu; they are in the options menu on the remote. The remote's volume control is one example of a control not in the setup menu. Cons: Potential audio hookup incompatibilities with soundboards. No rack mount kit included in the base price. (Seems like many who would use this player would have it in a rack as a part of their smart home setup.) Crutchfield response on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.
Incredible Machine Written By Tripper, McKinney, Texas on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is hard to find fault with a machine that claims to do everything when in fact it does. The sound quality is incredible, your SACD's never sounded better. The ability to access your network to play your music files is a great feature...and the sound from the Oppo DAC's is the best I've heard. And yes, hi def video is as good as I've seen and the access to Netflix, Pandora, etc. Is quick and easy...the remote even has a quick access button for Netflix. This is an audiophile grade machine that delivers the goods! Pros: Incredible audio quality, quality 'build', video.performance Cons: None
Oppo 105 Written By Steve661, Santa clarita ca on Friday, May 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was bought as an upgrade to my previous oppo 95, which I originally bought for curiousity sake. I mean how could a Dvd player be so expensive?, but to my amazement it made a huge diffrence in my system, so much that I have completely upgraded everything. The oppo 105 has been upgraded by Modwright company and is just beyond words. I love this player and am a true Oppo fan for life. Susan with crutchfield customer service is truley the best, thank you so much for going above and beyond. Pros: Sleek, beautiful construction, sound and video unbelievable Cons: None
Oppo BDP 105 Written By CAL, Highland Park Il on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We had tried two other Blu-Ray players with Internet connectivity and were disappointed by the audio and video quality. We then bit the bullet and opted for the much more expensive Oppo. As recommended by the manufacturer we used separate HDMI audio and video outs to our television and our receiver, The results are absolutely stunning. Our CDs are brilliant, Blu-Rays are magnificent and streaming from the Internet is seamless with perfect audio video sync. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to experience superb sound and vision reproduction. As per a review we read prior to our purchase we are now "Oppo happy."
Oppo BDP-105 Audiophile Quality CD Transport Written By David K, Morristown, NJ on Monday, April 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the Oppo BDP-105 to replace an aging Samsung Bluray player that is on its last legs. But, being an audiophile (Emerald Physics speakers, Wyred 4 Sound amps), I wanted to know how it would sound in my stereo rig so I hooked it up using balanced XLR cables and I am absolutely hooked on the sound! As a bonus, I was able to bypass a $1200 preamp/DAC (which I can now sell) because the Oppo has made my system sound so much better without it. The Oppo has opened up the already incredible soundstage while keeping it full and lifelike. Imaging is more precise with increased detail, resolution and musicality. The bass is fast and tighter without any bloat or sense of strain. They have helped make a good speaker sound great beyond what I could have imagined. Eventually, the Oppo BDP-105 will go into my home theater system where it belongs, but in the meantime I may have to put that old Samsung Bluray player on life support. Also, kudos to Crutchfield. Ryan was great to deal with and the payment plan made the purchase a no-brainer. Pros: A rock solid investment in most any audiophile's chain of command. Cons: None.
Best Value on the Planet Written By Tony M., Chicago, IL on Friday, April 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this Oppo for an audiophile stereo system as a do-it-all digital source. It replaces my CD player and possibly my stand-alone DAC for computer music (we'll wait to see until after break-in). It comes surprisingly close to the excellent sound I get from the stand-alone DAC which costs about what the the Oppo costs. This unit is the Swiss Army knife of the digital world. It allows me to listen to my CD, SACD, DVD-Audio and Bluray music collection while also allowing access to the excellent DAC section for my HDTracks downloads; all at an unbelieveable price!! For other audiophiles reading this; the sonic character is a little lean and bright thus far (about 120 hours beak-in so far). It is extremely detailed, revealing and unforgiving. So careful paring is necessary so you don't end up with a harsh sounding system. This unit is bright with the ribbon tweeters of my speakers which is why I may keep the stand-alone DAC for computer based music. Also, high quality interconnects are a must with this unit. All in all; extremely high value, unbelievably capable digital hub for your stereo or surround system. Plan on buying seperate components costing 2 to 3 times as much to best it... Pros: Do-it-all digital hub with top-notch audio and video quality at an unbelievably reasonable price. Unmatched customer support and 60 day return policy of Crutchfield. Cons: A tad lean and bright for high-end audio use; although that is a matter of taste.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Steve, Northern CA on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first blue-ray player and I love it. I decided on the Oppo BDP-105 based on previous reviews. So far it has delivered outstanding performance. Excellent audio and video quality. It is extremely well built. Pros: Excellent player with outstanding performance. Cons: Expensive - but worth it.
Step up from BDP-95 Written By EW, Massachusetts on Tuesday, April 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Versatile machine that now plays multichannel dsd files from usb drives. Bravo to Oppo for getting rid of the noisy fan. Pros: You can see where your dollars went. Cons: Not so much a "con" as a suggestion to Oppo: how about incorporating room correction and dual subwoofer crossovers?
oPPO bdp-105 rEVIEW Written By jww, nEWCASTLE, cA on Thursday, March 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This really shouldn't be called a "Blu-Ray" player as it does so much more. If you just want to watch a high quality Blu-Ray Movie I'm sure you can find less expensive units that will be ALMOST as good, but none that combine the Audiophile quality D to A convertors, Video and audio processing , network capability and audiophile quality headphone amplification and ability to connect to older non HDMI equipped receivers with high quality surround sound processing thjat this unit puts together. It really can be considered a video "pre-amp". Check the price of standalone D to A audio convertors, many of the same quality sell for far more than this entire unit. I called the company to ask a question and got a live person on the first ring who knew the product inside and out. No waiting on hold, no muzak while you wait for someone to look something up in a data base about the product you called about, just someone who works at the company that designed the product and knew it's features cold. If the audiophile features are less important consider their less expensive versions. They are all considered to have the highest quality video processing of any consumer products available. Pros: State of the Art Video and Audio quality with the ability to improve the video output of any HDMI equipped device, Audiophile D to A converters, Audiophile Headphone amplifier. To buy all of this separately ( and without the unique features) would easily run 4-5 x the price of the unit . Cons: It is expensive. But in this case it is the bargain of the century.
OPPO BDP-105 is a fine addition to an audio set-up Written By Kevin V., East Stroudsburg, PA on Saturday, March 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Although I enjoyed the Blu-Ray, DVD, and SACD sound quality coming through my Yamaha RX-2700, my CD's were virtually un-listenable with my $89 SONY player. Knowing the Yamaha along with My Polk RTI12's were more than capable of producing high quality sound I knew it was time to upgrade my Sony player. I was also interested in adding a high quality DACs to my system for online content, HI-Res digital downloads and SACD playback; the individual pieces were now getting pricey. I began seeing positive reviews for the Oppo BDP-105 late last year which had all the analog and digital bells and whistles I was looking for and knew it would cover all my needs while delivering quality sound and picture. Although I haven't used all the features yet I have once again been enjoying my CD collection. I have been listening to on-line content and my Hi-RES downloads via the asynchronous USB DAC input (192kbps/24bit resolution = studio quality) and couldn't be happier. I have been switching between the HDMI and the Muti-media analog inputs of the Yamaha with amazing sound from either choice... although I think the Analog outputs from the Oppo might be a little warmer than the the straight HDMI connection. Currently I have the Oppo HDMI1 going to my TV and HDMI2 going to the Yamaha receiver while allowing the BDP-105 to do all the decoding. Sounds amazing! I could have purchased this direct from Oppo but the Crutchfield 60day return policy and available support sold me on it.. Pros: A bargain for an audiophile quality muti-format playback device. The external wireless adapter allowed me to extend it to the top of my basement stairs for 95% signal strength. Netflix streaming works extremely well, Pandora sounds great. Oppo support is quick to respond. Set-up is easy. This is much more than a Blu-ray player as another review stated, you could use this straight to a power amp as a pre-amp/processor If you can live without the tone control and Auto-EQ of the receiver. Cons: None so far, I've heard of sync issues through the HDMI input but haven't tried it yet.
incredible Written By Duke, Houston on Friday, March 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) One word, INCREDIBLE. got rid of my DAC, OPPO's better, getting rid of my AV/Pre Proc OPPO's better. They really nailed it with this one. even accidently dropped a 10ft wide 2.35 screen on it. did not even skip the BR disc. or dent the top cover. Worth every penny and then some. Pros: Everything,even tunnels down through my itunes library and displays cover art while playing. Cons: Spent alot of money on a high end DAC and AV Pre/Proc. Don't need them anymore. Selling at a loss
Oppo BDP-105 Written By PaulJ, Tucson on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This player is amazing in sound and video quality. I use the analog outputs for 7.1 into my Pioneer Elite home theatre amp so that I get the benefit of the great audio design. The sound field is better than ever. It is all I expected it to be with one exception. The cable company HD TV box is connected to the HDMI 1 input on the Oppo. The Oppo is connected directly to the tv with HDMI out. When watching tv broadcasts, the audio starts to drift out of sync with the picture until there is a gap of at least 3 seconds. It is very distracting watching this way. When I change channel, the audio/video is again in sync and again starts to drift out of sync until after 10 minutes or so there is a gap of 3 seconds again. If I bypass the Oppo and go directly into my Pioneer with the cable box, there is no problem with sync. After calling Crutchfield, I was informed there is a known issue with the audio/video sync with cable tv boxes AND no date for resolution. Of the other reviews I had read before buying this product, I did not see anyone else mention this issue. Otherwise, this unit lives up to its reputation. I gave 4 stars due to this issue of sync. I had hoped to use the Oppo as my main processor, but this issue prevents me from doing so. Pros: Great video. Fast load time of DVD. Analog audio output is top notch. Streaming Netflix video looks great (have it connected with CAT 5e, not wireless). Cons: Only issue is audio/video sync problems when using cabe tv box into Oppo unit. No resolution time given to me by Crutchfield.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Chuck, Upstate New York on Saturday, March 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product was exactly as advertised and reviewed by others -- it is rock solid in its build; plays everything you can throw at it; and has a DAC that is world-class (which keep in mind is only relevant if you are using analog cables since the use of the HDMI cable will by-pass the Oppo's DAC). What I wound up doing was double-cabling the box so that everything I play in 5.1 goes through the HDMI (and gets the advantage of what my AVR can do to set up 5.1 properly) and everthing I play in pure stereo goes through analog cables (thereby taking advantage of the DAC). Pros: Extremely well built; knowledgable support staff at Oppo actually helps over the phone; cutting edge video playback, audio playback, and input/outputs. Cons: While this isn't really a "con" for the BDP-105, the price difference between this and the 103 probably outstrips the difference in the achieved value of the 105's better DAC (which according to Oppo is 90%+ of the difference between the two units). If possible, you may want to try both and see if the difference in sound achieved is worth the more than 2X price delta between these two models. My guess is that unless you have a VERY high-end system the difference will be pretty limited.
Oppo BDP-105 Written By Anonymous, Highland, CA on Thursday, February 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding performance
A Great Player (the 2nd time around) Written By Jerry B, Southeast Michigan on Monday, February 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Boy, let me tell you how glad I am that I purchased this player from Crutchfield. The first player I received had an audio problem. I was a little disappointed but I understand these sort of things happen even to the best of them. What made the difference and why I can leave a five star receive now is the way Crutchfield stepped up and took care of things. They issued a postage paid return label and took the replacement machine out of the box to check it for me before sending it out. The new unit preforms flawlessly and has every feature I wanted, including a USB2 input for my Mac-based music server. The sound is very, very good indeed now that I've got a properly working unit. The Blu-Ray picture is the best I've seen and the Oppo replaced a better than average Pioneer Blu-Ray player. The menu is nicely laid out and the initial set-up and configuration is fairly straight forward and easy to figure out. Anyone half familiar with modern players like this shouldn't even need to open the manual. Also, Five stars to Crutchfield too for their service and support getting the first player swapped out and replaced. Pros: Top-of-the line picture and sound. Just about every input and output imaginable. Crutchfield's great support. Cons: Well, not counting the first player....none.
Oppo 105 Written By Oppo BDP-105, An Jose,CA on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Everything about this player is five star.Fast start up time;no waiting for loading times,ect. Beautiful picture. The audio is crisp,clear,and detailed. It sounds so good that I'm thinking of selling my Csrry 303/300 CD player. I had purchaesd a $150.00 player to experiment and see if I liked 3d.The $150.00 player was good, but this player is incredible; a big noticeable differience. The 3D is a whole differient world.The more I watch it, the more I like it.I highly recommened this player. Pros: All around excellent Cons: Expensive.
Great Player, ?Server Written By JimQ, Fort Collins, CO on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The BDP-105 is an great multi format player. Great picture and great sound from both DVD and Blue-Ray. The server side is not as advertised. It will not take an HDMI input without issues. I was asked to load the most current firmware on a new unit which did not solve the problem. Service suggested they are working on the problem. I'm not sure it is honest to advertise a feature which they know is not working at this time. I have not tried other server features! Pros: Great multi format player. Cons: Not a full function server as advertised, waiting for further firmware which may fix the problem.
Oppo Raises the Bar Again With This Amazing Blu Ray Player Written By Outlander, Jamestown,ND on Thursday, December 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The picture and audio quality of this do all blu ray player is absolutely stunning. It gets better every time you turn in it on. All you have to do is play an old favorite concert dvd and you will hear things that you never knew were even in the recording. And the picture is way beyond any blu ray I have owned in the past. The set up is extremely easy and the laundry list of capabilities goes on forever. Tech savvy owners will have a field day with this machine. Being kind of old school I just plugged in my AudioQuest Coffee HDMI and WOW away we go. The 105 is simply superb. Pros: Everything - Superb packaging and state of the art performance. Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!
Versatility Written By otbricki, NJ on Saturday, December 08, 2012 This product has the usual Oppo quality. What is unusual is the collection of inputs that allows this player to serve as a video processor and preamp. If you have separate amplifiers or active speakers you do NOT need a preamp in your system any more. This thing is misnamed as a Blu Ray player. It is a complete digital and audio source. Sell your preamp and take advantage of the quality that a simplified audio chain gives you. This is simply a breakthrough. Pros: Unique versatility at a very high quality level. Cons: Expensive if you want just a Blu Ray player. Firmware is not complete on introduction.

Inspirational Spaces
Designers today draw on myriad sources of inspiration for their creations – everything from fabrics and paintings to furniture and fixtures. They draw from different eras, different locales and different styles, mixing and matching to create the perfect look. They even draw upon things they experience while traveling.
Indeed, as upscale clients increasingly travel for work and play, they are struck by the luxury amenities found in many high-end hotel baths, and realize that some of the elements and design themes can translate to their own bathroom at home.
Bath designers are also taking advantage of the the myriad luxury amenities found in hotel baths, and are using them as an inspiration to amp up their master bath designs.
In years past, hotels have worked toward creating a more comfortable, home-and-hearth vibe to make visitors feel more at home when they travel. Now, however, the influence is reversing, with hotel baths showcasing ideas perfect for residential baths, such as floating vanities/mirrors in front of windows and baths that open to the bedroom to expose breathtaking views that users can enjoy while relaxing in a whirlpool.
Here, and on the next two pages, KBDN showcases just a small sampling of what hotels are doing with the most personal of spaces – the bath.
Hilton Hartford's Presidential Bath 'Kicks It Up a Notch'
When the Waterford Group, LLC wanted to revamp its Hilton Hartford (CT) hotel, it wanted a style that would attract visitors from around the block and around the world.
Enter Ariane Steinbeck, IIDA, principal of The Gettys Group, which is headquartered in Chicago, IL with offices in Miami, FL, and Irvine, CA. She, along with senior project manager, Karrie Drinkhahn, and senior project designer, Chris Keller, worked to "kick the design up a notch," especially when it came to baths, and, in particular, the presidential suite bath. They also worked with the construction arm of Waterford. The hotel's architect of record, William Tabler & Associates in New York, NY
"Since the hotel has no spa, it was key to provide a soothing, spa-like experience in all of the baths," says Steinbeck, whose team "revitalized" the hotel with an updated, yet timeless Mid-Century Modern look. "We put granite vanity tops with wood aprons for warmth and luxury in each regular guest bath, and made sure the shower was on par with temperature-controlled showerheads. In the presidential bath, we wanted to take the pampering further," explains Steinbeck.
There, she and her team installed a Kohler Sok soaking tub for two with chromatherapy. "That was the icing on the cake, as even in a presidential bath, that's fairly unexpected," remarks Steinbeck.
Other products included a much larger vanity made by a local millworker with a curved apron to open the space and detract from the bath's linear footprint. The large, separate shower was enclosed in clear, frameless glass to further keep the space open. Inside, the two-tone subway tiles continue the sophisticated, subtle style they started outside of the shower.
The "take-away" of this atypical Hilton's bath design for kitchen and bath designers is the idea of using a curved wood apron, and, in particular, the Steinbeck's use of two-tone tiles. Both, when used "judiciously," she asserts, can add a lot of warmth in a residential bath.
InterContinental Hotel's Bath Design Effects a 'Classic Contemporary' Feel
When one thinks of Beantown, one generally thinks of its colonial history, which is reflected in much of the city's design aesthetic. But when Extel Development, which owns and operates the InterContinental Boston (MA) and an adjacent condo complex – and InterContinental Hotels Group Plc, which has a 99-year lease on the property – wanted to redo the 435-room hotel/luxury residences, they wanted to do something different. They decided on a style that Nadia Biski of Brennan Beer Gorman Monk/Interiors terms, "classic contemporary."
"They wanted something warm, something not so traditional, and something that incorporated the local context of the Beacon Hill neighborhood in which it sits," says Biski, a senior associate with BBGM, headquartered in New York, NY.
To achieve this, Biski worked directly with Paul Greenwood, senior designer and senior associate with the firm, and Kate Greenwood, design partner and a partner with the firm based in BBGM's Sydney, Australia office. She also worked with Amy Jakubowski, partner with BBGM, which has offices in Washington, DC, Scottsdale, AZ, and Beijing, China. The architect of record was Elkus Manfredi in Boston.
Together, they devised a guestroom concept that opens the bath to the sleeping chamber and the view of the city. The rooms feature dark mahogany millwork and case goods, including a dramatic headboard wall with illuminated louvers. They flank a set of sliding doors with wooden frames and frosted glass panels above the bed that open the bath to the bedroom. It has a Sefina vanity, Kohler fixtures, Dornbracht faucetry, and Dornbracht and Emco accessories.
"The layout and look of the honed-marble tiles evoke the look of cobbled stone," she notes, adding that with the four-fixture layout and warm tones for every bath in the property, it has a very residential feel, a home away from home – only more luxurious. And that's key, agrees Jakubowski. "As people in their homes want comfort and luxury and the ability to pamper themselves, they want it – expect it – in their hotels, from the lobby to the guestrooms to the baths," she says.
But what can kitchen/bath designers take away from this bath design? "The sliding door element," Biski and Jakubowski answer emphatically. The other "take-away?" Jakubowski answers: "Take the time to find out what exactly the client liked so much about a hotel bath – find the heart of the request, and the essence – [and] go from there."
North Shore Resort Villa Baths Exude a 'Classically Hawaiian,' Casual Plantation Style
Happy with the relatively recent renovation of its hotel, Turtle Bay Resort, Kuilima Resort Co. wanted to take it one step further, and extend the property's easy, casual, yet upscale island style into another area. The firm – which, like its north shore hotel, is based in Kahuku, HI on the island of Oahu – wanted to build a resort condominium complex targeting second-home buyers on the hotel property in the same style.
It turned to Victoria B. Reventas, ASID, interior designer with Honolulu, HI-based Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo to create what is now The Ocean Villas at Turtle Bay Resort.
She worked directly with WAT&G's Donald W.Y. Goo, FAIA, Daniel Sandomire, Jennifer Lutz and Mary Suenaga, AIA, to convert existing one- and two-story ocean-front buildings with hotel rooms to three-story luxury apartments while creating a contemporary Hawaiian ambience. They also designed additional buildings for a total of seven villa structures. She and the WAT&G team consulted Dean McMahel, with Douglas V. MacMahon, Ltd., for the lighting; Ron Swenson, with Southland Industries, for the mechanical engineering; and Nancy Caslin, of Nancy Caslin Art & Design, Inc., for the art.
"The goal was to have the project blend into the site and to have the same level of luxury and style as the hotel," explains Reventas. "The Ocean Villas' style is that of a contemporary tropical home, [with] classic, clean lines and neutral colors, with splashes of bright hues for visual pop. Appliances, plumbing fixtures and bath accessories befit a high-end-residence. The architecture is classically Hawaiian."
She continues: "The clean and comfortable baths reinforce the plantation style of the Ocean Villas. The walls feature board and batten with stone tiles on the floor and in the shower area. The wood cabinets are painted cream, and there are marble vanities and tub surrounds. Master baths feature a large soaking tub, plus a separate, frameless glass shower. And all of the plumbing fixtures were supplied by Kohler.
"Depending upon the size of the unit, there are regular size baths and 'master' baths. The master baths have a separate toilet room, double-sink vanity, and separate bath and shower," explains Reventas.
But what can kitchen and bath designers take away from this design? In Reventas' opinion, "the biggest 'wow' factor… is the size of the room, and the crispness of the finishes. The focal point is the separate shower and bath."
"One way to make a hotel stand out from the others is the use of different materials and fixtures. Designers can experiment with new products and people see that when they stay in a hotel. It's a great source of seeing what works and what doesn't in a bath, and if you like it, you can take the idea home," concludes Reventas.
Upscale Buckhead Hotel Baths Convey a Sense of Comfort and Sophistication
With a hefty client base of upscale business travelers, business meeetings and regional leisure travelers, it was important for the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta to give both affluent road warriors and luxe vacationers the luxury they need while on the road and give them a taste of the nation's busiest hub city, replete with the warmth, style and plenty of Southern hospitality.
That's why the InterContinental Hotels Group, Plc, which owns and operates the property, turned to Tim Zebrowski, principal and co-owner of the Los Angeles, CA-based Zebrowski Design Group. He co-designed the new property with design partner Lisa Janigian. The architect of record was TVS & Associates in Atlanta, GA.
To start, InterContinental wanted a four-fixture bath, says Zebrowski, who did the interior architecture, while Janigian was the lead stylist doing all of the furnishings and fixtures (FF&E).
"They wanted that for all of the baths, and they wanted to capture elements that were typical of the Southeast region. So I applied a warm contemporary feel to the design," he says. "And one of those elements that is referenced repeatedly throughout the hotel is the feeling of the hotel's outdoor garden space that's accessible to all of the social spaces. It's referenced back and forth, from the interior design to the exterior. It reflects the idea of typical Southern life in the garden."
Specifically, in the baths, Zebrowski and Janigian added more and more luxury as the baths went from guestroom size (four fuxtures) to suite size (also with a bidet) to the Presidential suite where they did "French limestone floors, an oversized Kohler whirlpool tub, a multiple-fixture Grohe shower, a separate Kohler toilet/bidet area, a dressing area and a two-sided fireplace for a deluxe touch." He says the biggest thing kitchen/bath designers can take away from this resiential-style bath design is the idea of the two-sided fireplace that opens up the bath.
Boston Hotel Built for Techies Keeps Guests Coming Back for the Edgy, Yet Timeless Design Aesthetic
O ne of the first boutique hotels, the 195-room Nine Zero in Boston, MA has been at the leading edge of the hotel style since it opened approximately five years ago. First designed to simply attract the dot-commers that were prevalent before the tech bubble burst in 2001, its edgy, streamlined, transitional style continues to attract young executives from all fields.
The two brothers who first opened and owned the hotel – now owned by Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, LLC in San Francisco, CA – wanted to create a style that was not typical of Boston.
In fact, they wanted something "more compelling, not off the shelf, something clean, sleek, functional, comfortable and tactile. That's why everything was custom," recalls Margaret McMahon, managing director of Wilson & Associates, which is headquarted in Dallas, TX. McMahon, who's based in the New York office, worked on the hotel with W&A architects Seiichi Mori, Jacques Coetzee and Jim Rimelspach. The architect of record was TSOI Kobus & Associates.
In the baths, the design team created a typical tub/shower combo for one half of the rooms, and then simple, sleek custom showers for the other half, due to space contraints. "For those all-marble showers, we used a barn-door concept to keep the space open," says McMahon, adding the design was influenced by a trip to China.
In all of the baths, she and her team designed an all steel and glass vanity whose mirror was floated in front of the window for visual interest. It also helped to open the small space. Its single, rectangular Kohler sink enabled the team to maximize counter space, too.
McMahon believes the vanity, the mirror and their look and placement are the biggest things kitchen and bath designers can take away from these baths because it can open up any bath while adding impact.
Up in the penthouse suite bath, she and her team installed a steam shower and a whirlpool tub.

USAID plans to rebound from dramatic drop in cybersecurity scores
Thursday - 6/21/2012, 9:20pm EDT
Jerry Horton, CIO, USAID
For years, the U.S. Agency for International Development stood out among agencies when it came to cybersecurity and meeting the requirements under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
But last year, USAID went from an "A" grade to a "F."
The Office of Management and Budget's report to Congress on how agencies are implementing FISMA requirements found USAID dropped 36.6 points to a score of 53.8. In 2010, the agency earned a 90.8 score.
Jerry Horton, USAID's chief information officer, said the reason for the dramatic drop is because the agency didn't have a continuous monitoring program in place.
USAID was one of five agencies not to submit cyber data feeds to the Homeland Security Department's cyberscope program. The OMB report stated USAID didn't implement a configuration management capability at all, but had a fully capable vulnerability management functionality, and an 80 percent capability for asset management.
Horton said the agency also got marked down because they weren't using their secure identity card, under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12, for logical access.
"We have plans in place to handle both so we will get our score back up this year," Horton said. "It's not really budget issue. It's really a change in the way the score is tracked from OMB's perspective."
Network upgrades key to cyber
Horton said USAID has an opportunity to improve its security as it upgrades its network. He said the goal is to build security into all of the agency's applications.
The biggest challenge for the department with implementing continuous monitoring was the process.
"We were a little behind in getting it running and I think that's what caused the FISMA score last year," he said. "It's not really a difficult proposition. Most of what we do on a security basis isn't that difficult. It's just a matter of getting it done."
Horton said his office has been upgrading USAID's network around the world for several years.
He said USAID has been moving more toward the cloud and mobility.
"We are basically making our applications, our services available from any network, at anytime from anywhere in the world," he said. "The cloud is a huge piece of this as is virtualization. We revolve it around mobility. The ability for a person to have a tablet, a smartphone, a laptop and even a desktop in a foreign location to be able to access our network infrastructure remotely, safely and securely."
He said the end goal is to make it easier for employees no matter where they are to access data and systems.
Lightweight apps to overcome latency
Part of USAID's upgrade plan is to consolidate networks with the State Department at posts around the world. Horton said his agency is eliminating three separate networks at three posts around the world.
"We are trying to head to the fact it runs on any network. A network infrastructure is becoming a commodity with the Internet so available and so easy to access, whether we use the Internet for our access or the State Department or anyone else, it doesn't really matter," he said.
Horton said because employees often are in countries without consistent electricity or Internet service, USAID is trying to solve some of the long- standing challenges from working in those countries.
He said the agency is consolidating its data centers to be closer to the point of presence for all network infrastructure coming into the U.S. Horton said that will eliminate many of the latency and speed issues.
"As we move our applications to be more Internet available, they can hit them from any access point, any wireless network, anything so it gives us an opportunity to tune our applications to work in a lot of places where latency is an issue or where just time is an issue," Horton said. "For example, some of our applications running in the cloud are actually faster to run over a local Internet connection or over a satellite link than it is to run over AIDNet or over the State Department's network or over anyone else's network because they are tuned more toward that capability."
He said a large number of employees, about one-third, have access to online email through a tablet or smartphone in places such as Sudan or Afghanistan. He said the agency expects to save about $4 million a year through online email.
But Horton said vendors need to do more to move older software to the mobile and cloud environment.
