Great dissertation Tim. Some will still enjoy the "quaintness" of vinyl, some the convenience and preciseness of digital, and others will be happy with the stream. Understanding the character of each format will help determine which to follow and why.
Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination.
To my great dismay, the more I listen, I’m finding my Oppo 105 is outperforming a very well thought of DAC and transport combination for which I paid 3x the price. Basically the sound stage is wider and better defined.
Both the DAC and transport are less than a year old. I thought I was upgrading.
Played by itself, the DAC-transport combo sounds great. Until I compare it to the Oppo.
I can’t understand it!
