New CDP or standalone DAC...?

Current source is the Oppo 103, bought three years ago. Would greatly appreciate any and all comments on buying a better-sounding CDP, or buying a better-sounding DAC and using the 103 as a transport.
Thanks in advance!

Oppo 205 is their best currently but I think the one you have can be used to rip SACDs with some work...

Get an Oppo-205 (their best) and put the other $700 towards room treatments. You can always use it as a standalone transport later if you want to add a $5,000 DAC...
