willemj, what nonesense? I had the Oppo. Hel-loo! All of the things I said about the Oppo transport and most other players and transports are true. You should get out more often. I hate to judge to harshly but apparently one are the one who bought into the whole perfect sound forever nonsense.
Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs
'Sup?
I have my Oppo 105 feeding a Hegel 160 integrated - which I just got and am so far extremely happy with. However, does this combo render the Oppo's Sabre DAC meaningless? Am I hearing just the Hegel's DAC? And is there any way to by-pass the Hegel DAC by, say, running a digital cable from the Hegel to the Oppo to start a loop?
Should I look for a decent transport and move the Oppo to another system? I'm not really interested in getting a streamer or going that route at the moment.
Thank you in advance.
