New CDP or standalone DAC...?

I may be late here, however  for playback of redbook CDs I would consider an outboard DAC. Use the Oppo's analog output for other digital formats. Choose a DAC that can handle other digital formats via streaming that you might consider using in the future.

I understand, I also have other systems for streaming internet files. My main system is for music only and I play primarily redbook CDs via computer (as AIFF files) or transport (will play SACD via analog output). If I was looking for a universal player in I would also be looking hard at the Oppo 205. 

Given all that you have considered and been offered as advise my response was somewhat dated.

Tom, I appreciate. At age 68, I also am 'old school'.  

Hi Tom, a couple years later and I am still one decade beyond you in 'old school'.  :-)  Your looking at 60, I am turning 70 in June. We must embrace all ages and live them to the fullest.

I see you have replaced your amplification. I had a Vincent integrated. Wish I never sold it. I am sure that Sp-331/Freya combo is great. In the 80s into 90s I owned a original pair of the 2Cs as well. 

I remain a redbook CD kind of guy. Either as AIFF file via apple computer or disc playback. One day likely go to a dedicated server with internal DD to use with an external DAC. Looking into the purchase of a Audio Mirror DAC.  What is your latest thinking regarding digital playback?  

Tom,
I use an Adcom DVD-137 as a transport for music from CDs, SACDs, and DVDs(movies) my main system. My DAC is a Bryston BDA-1. I bought the Bryston for it had many coax digital inputs and knowing it did not have asychronous USB. I use a USB/SPDIF converter for computer audio. 

I do believe a dedicated cd player or transport into a DAC of preference is the best way to go for redbook. I am now interested in a tube R2R DACs, looking at the Audio Mirror. I sometimes find myself just wanting to spin a CD and not involving the computer. Thus I sometimes think about replacing the Adcom DVD player and purchasing  a dedicated CD transport for music and a more budget universal player for movies and the very few SACDs I own. 

If interest is in spinning CDs in a transport, there are many DACs of recent vintage but dated regarding USB that remain excellent for redbook and can be had for a fraction of their original price. I have searched out these. I own a PS audio digital link III in a second system.
Cheers,
Mike
