Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch?
I interpret bright as an excessive volume of high frequencies, and this is definitely not that. 
Soooo many choices.
Ok that sounds good. I didn't know HD was a higher bit than standard cd's. Good to know. 
Soooo many choices.
I thought about putting the iec, I don't doubt I can do that if there's room enough. Same with the cables, just need the info. The streaming will be from the home wireless network already running. I'd rather wait and get more money to spend on bet... 
Soooo many choices.
Maybe what's getting in my way here is that I'm kind of from the school of thought that I want a system that produces the most accurate reproduction. If a component changes the sound in any fashion then it really doesn't fit that desire. I underst...

Willie, haven't started looking at that yet. 
Soooo many choices.
Mrvco, so even the cheapest ones are worlds better than what's in the oppo 981? Or is that as good as it gets(which is highly unlikely)? 
Soooo many choices.
Dragon, keeping that in mind. I've seen similar options from a few outfits, thanks. 
Soooo many choices.
In the cabinet now is oppo 981hd DVD player for my 2ch use, Nak Ca5, NAD 2040, and Paradigm Mon7's. My interest is almost only stereo. Music is Jesse Cook to Alison Kraus to Joe Sample to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Latin pop to 3 Days Grace and beyond. ... 
Soooo many choices.
Hmm. My mid-length goal is upgrade amp and preamp after the DAC. That's going to mean lots more changing components around then in trying to find sound I like. That's what I was trying to avoid by getting better/more expensive gear. 
Soooo many choices.
Wow, I didn't want to hear that. I may have the option to hear 2 DAC's near me is all. The likelihood of them being in the feature group I want is poor, the quality level and feature group, next to nothing. 
Soooo many choices.
HA! Simple my hiney. lolWhat sampling rate do the best DAC's run? I have no idea about that subject. 
Soooo many choices.
What is dsd? The problem with listing what I want is that I don't really know what I want, other than a simple, no frills unit that sounds fantastic, has a usb and a digital input for the cdp. Flashy and busy won't cut it. I'm guessing by your pos... 
Soooo many choices.
I have no idea what lots of the acronyms these days mean. 
Soooo many choices.
I did a 5hr. each way road trip yesterday, lots of time to think. Came to the conclusion that unless the Stream Magic 6, or something like it, if there is something, has a DAC of the level I'd like to get, I want to get a DAC with USB input for a ... 
Soooo many choices.
Wired would be more hassle than I'd like. May have to in the end, we'll see.
