can you even still buy an Oppo new now that they stopped making disk players? well other then used but they seem to be price inflated, i'm assuming because oppo stopped making the players.
Is there any USB DAC with this set of input / output connectors?
I’m looking for a USB DAC / preamp under $1100 or so with a small form factor and good sound. And specifically, I am looking for a DAC with the following set of input / output connectors:
- XLR L & R outputs
- RCA L & R outputs
- RCA subwoofer output
- optical output
- coax out (optional)
- headphone jack (optional)
- Ethernet RJ45 connection
- WiFi connection (antenna) (optional)
- USB type B connector (the squarish one, for USB DAC functionality)
- USB type A connector (the rectangular one, for reading media files on a USB stick)
- RCA AUX L & R inputs
- optical input (optional)
- coax input (optional)

The Oppo UDP-205 Ultra seems to have all the functionality I’m looking for, and the price is reasonable compared to other options. Here are its connections:
I have heard good things about this device as a USB DAC. |

From the Anthen STR preamp spec sheet. What does this mean: "Ethernet port for ARC"? Does that mean that it does not have normal network functionality such as the ability to play files from a local NAS device? Connections:

The Anthem STR preamp looks awesome. Here are its connections:
It appears to have all the connections that are most important to me. I'm going to check out all the reviews I can find on this product. This might be my next purchase :-) |
I have seen some pre/ dac with some of those but not with all of them. Not even sure they make such a thing much less below $1100. Even ones I have looked at around $3000 upto $6000 don’t have all those connections. Might have more luck looking for a pre with a lot of conections and a seperate dac. Good luck finding it. |
@glennewdick > really sounds like you want a pre amp with a built in DAC OK, sounds like a good suggestion. However, I haven't even found a preamp + DAC that has all these connections. Do you know of one? |
The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus is one I looked at so far. Here are its connections:
Related question: since most USB DAC's do not have a subwoofer output, what is the best work-around? (My current DAC, the Onkyo P-3000R has pre-out RCA connections that I use for my two subwoofers and that makes hooking things up much nicer.) |
