OPPO 105 as a streaming source/transport only

Ok, so here's the deal. I have an OPPO 105 that is approximately 5-6 years old, I bought it new. I now use it for movie night(rarely) and as a transport and streamer to my Wyred4sound DAC 2V2 SE. I mostly stream Tidal for music. My question for all you digital gurus is this, with my wireless router to the OPPO am I losing sound quality? I would have an approximate 45' run of hard wire from the router if I was to go direct. If I wanted to experience notable sound quality gains. What would you do/buy for said gains? Yes I know get a turntable, that's not really for me at this time. Thanks!

I am curious if running your Oppo to a separate DAC resulted in significant improvement in sound compared to the onboard DAC in the Oppo. I’m in a similar situation. Thanks,

Thanks Mizike that’s about what I expected. We always have to ask ourselves how much we are willing to pay to achieve gains. I have a Modwright Oppo 105 so the sound quality is very good for now lol

Thanks everyone. I wanted to be done upgrading for awhile but I guess that’s not going to be possible now as my head is thinking of a new DAC lol
