The Oppos have USB inputs but they are moderately restrictive in what they will accept.

Using Oppo as DAC?
Dumb questions from analog dinosaur. The girls gave me my first Ipod and I'm considering bringing my semi-vintage mid-fi system into the 21st Century by combining it with currently separate TV-DVD system and Ipods (mine and theirs).
I was wondering if I could use the Oppo 83se or not-yet-out 95 to serve as a DAC for Ipod played through either a Wadia 171 or that Onkyo ND1 that does the same thing. From reading about this stuff, I am presuming yes but I don't see that option discussed much and I freely admit to digital ignorance beyond simple CD and DVD players.
My current system consists of an Aragon 8008St amp, a Rogue Metis Magnum preamp, Rega P1 turntable, Arcam 8 tuner and a Sony SCD-CE595, which is cheap but decent multidisc SACD player, and Thiel CS-1 speakers.
I am squeezed for space in my cabinet and system (the Metis has only three RCA inputs, plus the phono, so I was hoping to use the Oppo for double duty as universal player/Ipod DAC and play TV through Thiels. From the reviews, I'm guessing Oppo would sound as good or better than my Sony for two-channel music.
I see a couple of advantages if this works. A: Don't have to shell out for a separate DAC. B: The Oppo apparently could give me some future wireless options for TV/Music. C. I'd have inputs open to leave Sony SCD hooked up for the convenience of multi-disc play.
Not married to Oppo at all. If there is another Blu-Ray that offers good audio quality (particularly cheaper) that would serve the same purpose, I'm open to any advice.. Thanks for any guidance
