Moving up from an Oppo 205


I have an Oppo 205 that I am using as a DAC with an Aurrender N100 via USB.  It sound surprising good and actually a better sounding (and functioning DAC) than the one in My McIntosh C2500.  I not only listen to my collection of Hi-Rez files but also now Tidal with MQA.   What would be a noticeable upgrade for a DAC and or DAC with steaming abilities. 
Only from a 2ch audio perspective.  
Thank you

Why are you upgrading? Are u satisfied with your oppo? If you are not, what are u looking for in the new device?
upgrading an Oppo is a hard thing to do.  But you can still use it as a CD player, blu ray player, 4 k player and use a DAC after the Oppo using it’s bitstream feature.
i love NAD and Classe.
i would go with a M32 as a 2 ch integrated amp, that has all the streaming capabilities or with the classe sigma 2200, but u will loose some streaming capabilities.
