TRANSPORTER???

Thanks for the help, folks. I was looking at the oppo 205 last night. This thing looks like it can deliver audio from any medium except tape and lp’s. Out of my budget but I can be patient and save for a couple more months. Any thoughts for a novice choosing this oppo?

I like the two separate DAC’s, one dedicated for stereo output, of which balanced outputs are offered. To wit, I have balanced connectors and inputs on my preamp and my main audio medium will be digital. My stepfather has a vintage turntable and reel to reel that I secretly smile and wink at when I visit my parents and consider the empty space that they will fill in my system one day. Until I get to fiddle with those toys it’s my 300 disc collection and I like the looks of services like Roon.

So we have a Spreadhead secretly plotting his parents demise in his lust for a reel to reel player? So typical. :p Seriously though the Oppo is a very solid unit and quite flexible. A good starting point for novice audiophile. Cheers!
