My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?

Hey all,

Well, my vaunted 105 now won’t connect to Tidal through the app no matter what troubleshooting I do, and since my listening is 40% vinyl, 50% streaming, and 10% cd, I’m losing out on a lot of music. I’d like to keep the Oppo as a the occasional transport but need something to stream Tidal.

I can still connect via HDMI to to the Oppo from my phone or laptop, but the sound is terrible. 

My digital system:

Ragnarok 2 integrated

Denafrips Ares 2 DAC/Schiit Gungnir (currently comparing them side-by-side)

Reference 3A de Capos

Oppo 105 (still can be used as a transport and blu-ray)

 

Suggestions for a streamer that would work well with the Denafrips? Budget under $1K.

Thank you,

simao

I haven't yet, but I will.

Thanks  for the suggestion.

(it goes against the grain, but I might even consult the owner's manual)

I just had a WeChat conversation with with the oppo link to India and wouldn’t be surprised if I was connected to AI chat bot.

Ultimately I was informed they don’t support products not sold in India, and that was the end of our chat.

my BDP-205, while not being used but powered on, makes noises I assume are due to the unit searching for (unavailable) updates.

It’s annoying and I wish I could stop it from doing that.
