Why can't you order directly from Oppo USA? Will it be cheaper even after customs fees?

I bought a 1.8 meter USB cable and the popping and crackling seems to be gone! Thanks for the help, everyone!
The lower the output impedance, the better. If the HA-1 truly has a 300 ohm output impedance on its rear XLR balanced outputs, that would be awesome!

One of the engineers told me that for the BDP-105/D and the HA-1 the stereo single-ended and XLR outputs are 100 ohm. I'll make any edits if the senior engineers have any corrections.
As a previous poster asked, I'm also interested in a comparison with the Burson Conductor. I'm interested in going balanced and wanted to try to get some assurances (hah!) that I wouldn't be disappointed coming from the Burson.
Usually the balanced output impedance should be higher than the single-ended (sometimes by as much as a factor of three). 100 ohms sounds reasonable for single-ended, but it sounds way too low for a balanced output. If you could please ask the senior-engineers to verify, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your help!
Quoting my own question, I've come across a review (the only one I could find) that was somewhat critical and thought it was worth sharing :

Just picked this up and I really like it. Has enough power and my hd 600s sound really good and the he 500s are driving nice. Great sound!
