The Oppo is a jack of all trades, master of none. I wouldn't get one if SACD is your main reason for doing so. I think I'd be disappointed too if a $200 DAC sounded better than my SACD player. I like my Marantz SACD player.
Oppo UDP-203
I might have an opportunity to trade for an Oppo UDP-203. Anyone have experience with one for SACD?
My current SACD player is a Pioneer PD-D6-J and it simply can't compete with my current Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC with WE 396A tube and Sparkos op-amps.
Could I expect the Oppo to be a significant upgrade for my Pioneer? I know the Oppo UDP-205 was the more audiophile targeted model.
