DAC's - Oppo 105D vs Krell Connect
Hi ScottThe Oppo 105 is a very good unit in its price range. The XLR is the way to go in my view. I have no experience with the sound of the Krell. Keep in Mind the Oppo 105 does have a long break in time before sounding good.Good luck Pete 
Universal player or DAC?
I would go with the Oppo 105 better for music than the 103

XLR vs RCA
I tried RCA and XLR on my Oppo and the XLR won out easy. 
oppo dac vs rotel pre amp dac
i would go with the Oppo 105 using xlr outs, great sounding for the money 
Esoteric X-03se vs K-03
the K-O3X is a step up from the K-O3 better DAC- better clamp locking on the disc, and 34 bit. 
Power Filtering vs Power Regeneration?
