OPPO 105 VS Schiit Gungnir



I know it's sort of a lame question. That being said, the reason I ask, is I was going to buy a used Schiit, but saw a nice price on a used OPPO 105, and began to think about how much more I could do with the OPPO ( just audio no home theater ).

I was just wondering how much difference there would be between the two. I would assume that the Schitt Gungnir should be better, but how much ??

Thanks for any help.

My advice:  Get the Oppo and save for something better than the Gungnir.  Then, feed your new DAC from the Oppo until you figure out something else for the long haul.  The Oppo can even be used as a a DLNA media server with something like JRiver if you decide to rip your disks and go in that direction.  This is a route that I took, but I have further moved on.

I own both.  No comparrison the Gumby is much better.  Sorry but disagree with using the 105 to stream or serve.  Get a used Node 2 for streaming into the Gumby.  Again so much better than streaming with the 105.  Plus you have access to more streaming services.  With the 105, only Tidal.

I've previously owned both and agree the Gumby is head and shoulders above the Oppo's DAC. I'd also suggest considering Denafrips Ares II vs. Gumby for even a bit less money. A better streamer than the Oppo won't cost much either. microRendu + Gumby performed in a different league than using the Oppo to the Gumby. Cheers,

Just so happens I own the Ares II also.  At first I liked it more than the Gumby.  Then I changed things around a little bit and now I'm using it in a headphone system with a Schiit HP amp and liking the Gumby a little bit more.  Bottom line' they're very close and can be system dependent like everything else.  I think they're both a great value and that one can be happy with either.
