I own a Innuos Zen Mini and the first model Oppo put on the market. I've ripped all of my cd's to the Mini, and the sound is very good and really convenient . However, cd's still sound better to me played on the Oppo then ripped music to the streamer. In fact physical media, ie cd's and dvd's or blu rays are much better then their streamed counterparts. Streaming is convenient. But the old stuff still gets it done.
