New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive


Just got an email from OPPO that their new HA-1 headphone amp is now shipping.

Looks almost too good to be true for $1200.

Does PCM 384K, DSD 128
Preamp, headphone amp
Pure analog section
Sabre32 ESS 9018 DAC
Blu-tooth, USB etc interface
Remote control and remote control app
Fully balanced design

You knew it would be good from OPPO but wow!

Hi Larry, so what do you think of the oppo as a dac.? I am in the same boat as you. looking for a better DAC. I just got the oppo ha-1 last week and hooked it up to my pre-amp along with my other dac, an inexpensive Dac-magic. When switching inputs I could not hear any difference at all in the sound, I mean none. I thought I would be able to hear something different. I have a pretty good system so I don't think that's the issue. Pass labs XA-100.5 amps. Xp-30 pre and magnepan 3.7s. I was streaming thru a squeezebox touch. I like the features but with no improvement in sound I am sending it back for a refund.
