Looking for a 24/192 dac to compliment my oppo r2r setup

I have one of my Oppo BDP 105s in my 2 channel room

I have it hooked up to an MHDT Orchid dac which is extremely musical

It is an r2r ladder dac and will only play redbook formats.

I am very happy with it.

I also currently have the Oppo going directly into my preamp for high rez formats

I would like to get a reasonably priced but great sounding hi rez dacs that will do blu ray, 24/192, tidal MQA? Any others

Thanks

Maybe your settings in your Oppo are incorrect. If you play SACDs/DSD files they should get converted to DOP or PCM (Various sample rates). Blu-Ray and DVD Audio should work fine. MQA has been discredited by many and proven to be lossy. Nevertheless lots of people still like it. Personally I think it's unnatural. You have an Aurender A10 why not use it's DAC? This can give you MQA and Native DSD.

You'll need Sonore or similar software to open the ISO files.
