Hi fsmithjack,
"This looks awesome - OK so to summarize so I buy the Oppo BDP-103 and this board the Vanity 103HD DoP board and install it myself then just use it as a cd transport?"
Well, that’s the idea as I understand it from what I read, anyway. Of course you don’t need the Vanity board unless you actually play SACD’s as well as CD’s.
As far as my personal system goes, I prefer digital files, with just the occasional CD. So I’m sticking with the Marantz, but the Oppo / Vanity combo sounds like a cool idea if you’re into SACD discs.
If you have any questions about compatibility with your DAC, etc. you should direct them to JVB Digital.
As for the other stuff, I don’t have any experience with the hardware / software you mention, so I’ll leave that to someone else.
