Theta will be releasing an all digital modded Oppo 93, with the analog section stripped out. This will be the Compli Blu 3D - MSRP $4000.
I was thinking like you a few years back and got myself a Denon 2500. It sucked.
But puzzling indeed why no one is jumping on this. I can even envision Oppo creating a premium variant of the 103 optimized as digital transport. Linear powersupply for just digital section, and upgraded clock for starters. The DIY community of course can already do this.
I would think the demand for a $1000 Oppo 103 premium digital transport would at least equal the 105 optimized for analog.
