Thanks for the input. I prefer a DAC over a Modwright upgrade. A DAC is a natural fit, can easily be swapped out, would be easier to sell separately, as well as something that be used beyond the Oppo itself. My budget is $ 3,000. I was thinking to pick either
iFi Audio Pro iDSD, Benchmark DAC3,
MyTek Brooklyn DAC+, or a Lumin D2. Thank you
