Should I sell my DAC

I have the upgrade itch and am thinking of selling my OPPO 105 player. Currently I am using the player’s fantastic USB dac to play Tidal web player in my office driving powered KEF speakers. No need for Blu ray anymore and don’t use the unit as transport. If I sell the player for $650 - is there a better USB dac than OPPO 105 in the $1100 range? I prefer advice and recommendations from folks that have heard the OPPO USB dac.

Selling the OPPO is a sideways move at best! There is nothing, repeat nothing, wrong with the DAC in the OPPO! The proliferation of DACs is driven by business profit motive capitalizing on the insecurity and gullibility of neurotic hobbyists.

DACs do sound different from one another. Surely you are not saying they all sound the same?

MHDT is a good recommendation. I have a heavily modified Pagoda that does a wonderful job. Before I sold my Node 2i, I compared MQA tracks from it's DAC to the Pagoda. Even though the Pagoda won't do the last MQA unfold, it still sounded better than the Node DAC.
