SO to be clear none of you are going with the $1200 Oppo 105, with ESS saber Dacs and audiophile grade outputs with XLR connections and is rated among units that cost thousands more in the latest class A recommendation from Stereophile? OK.
I would buy this over the Marantz anyday.
I have also heard this unit connected (via USB audio input) to a Aurender music server and the results are stunning with the stock Oppo!!
