The 205 has a great DAC. Send the unit to Modwright for the tube mods to improve the output stage and you’re set.
Oppo 205 and external DAC?
My goal is to utilize the balanced output of the Oppo but the amplifier(PL Dialogue HP) has unbalanced inputs.
Excluding the modification route.
What external DAC would offer an improvement in SQ over the inboard Oppo DAC? Also with balanced connections, then of course switching to unbalanced from the dac to the PL.
