Nothing but croc tears from me for Pandora whatever happens to them..
My OPPO BDP-103`s free Pandora app streaming app`s SQ sucked big time, no matter how many times I engaged it and on all 6 of my house`s room`s audio systems, however in which any Red Book CD played in the OPPO sounded excellent, or at least as good as the original recording was capable of !!
Compressed, and gritty sounding no matter the genre selected from Pandora`s offerings, or whether I was outputting from the OPPO`s S/DIF coax, or the dedicated audio only HDMI into my main system`s Integra A/V/P or a dedicated HQ stand alone DAC`s S/PDIF coax input !!
Not my cup of tea..
To each their own.
Kind regards, OKB
