oppo dac vs rotel pre amp dac

my system rotel 1570 preamp, classe ca-2100 amp pioneer bdp 51fd. im new at this thought someone might have some input. looing at a new bluray player oppo 103,105. will be used mainly for two channel stereo. just wanting to know if the 103 using the rotel dac or the 105 using oppo dac would be better. at twice the price is the 105 the way to go. oppo will not be used at all for home theatre just two channel stereo.

i would go with the Oppo 105 using xlr outs, great sounding for the money

I agree with 68pete. Using my Oppo 105 as a CDP, running stereo XLR
cables out to a Krell HTS 7.1 (used as a volume control only, no processing
or D/A conversion) and Krell TAS (also used a Krell KSA-250) sounds
excellent IMHO.

thanks for the advise guys. I think I will go with the 105 xlr outs to my pre. I forgot to mention my pioneer bdp is on the fritz and I do occasionally watch movies.
