I purchased my BDP-205 shortly after it was released and have enjoyed years of fantastic listening, in particular SACD disc playback of classic jazz titles. Recently, for the first time, I purchased a few high rez downloads (128K DSD) from the best known sites, loaded them onto a thumbdrive and tried playback through the USB 3.0 inputs, expecting further improvements over SACD discs. Instead, it has been hugely disappointing -- in direct comparison with SACD discs, the USB sound is lifeless, 2 dimensional and what I think of as "digital" sound. I next tried a high rez PCM download of the 2021 remaster of CSNY's Deja Vu and again, the sound was awful. Literally unlistenable. So I'm baffled... is there something I'm missing here? Is there something inherently worse about playback of files off of a thumb drive? If anyone can shed any light on this, I'd really appreciate it.
