The Oppo 205 features a very fine DAC chip, the same as used in top ranked DAC's costing many time the Oppo's price. The analog section features a decent sized toroidal transformer that would be comparable to many preamps, and a fully balanced output stage. The transport capabilities are amongst the most generous ever. Input and output options are plentiful for both 2 and multichannel. It is very compatible with many different contemporary and legacy formats.
Garnering near universal praise from professional reviewers. It is a popular candidate for upgrading options. It punches way above it's weight class.
Is it snobbery or jealousy or what that provokes this contempt? I don't see how anyone can deny the value of these devices.
Oh yeah, I think it sounds very good indeed. IMHO, better sound comes at a much higher price with more limitations.
