The next progression is the Theta Compli CD/DVD transport and the later Oppo Based Compli bluray player. I think Compli cd/DVD sounds much better via analog or digital outs then the Oppo 105D/205D as i don't care for the ESS sabre mid bass leannes. The Theta Compli has balanced outputs
Theta Miles CD player
I’ve had my Miles for about 20 years and still love the sound. I use it with its analog outputs and let the internal dac, do the conversion. Question- those of you who are familiar with this product-is there a new player that willl out perform this one? (I use the balanced outputs). If so, tell me your experiences.
