I have owned the Bryston DAC3 (my current DAC) and have an Oppo 105 in the system. I used to have a Mytek Manhatten1 in the same system. I agree with the OP in that Piano music could be unlistenable via the Mytek—just to much treble, especially with my B&W 803D speakers. I don’t find the Oppo 105 as offensive, but I only use it as a transport.
Sabre dacs versus other dacs
Has anyone compared the Oppo 105d's implementation of the Sabre Dac with the Oppo Sonica's implementation of the newer 9038 Sabre Dac, with Mytek's implentation of the 9038 Sabre DAC, and anyone else's implementation of Sabre DAC's ?
In comparison to the AKM DAC's in my Bryston BDA-3 I find the Oppo's DAC harsh, with a tinny sound to
higher frequency piano notes, but with greater perceived definition of string music.
Any violin players reading this ?
Any information most welcome.
