Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
@n80, if your getting the unit for free, what’s your downside? 
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
Yea I have a 105. Using just as a transport. Bypassing the DAC in favor on my Orchid DAC. Noticeable difference IMHO.  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@letch  Yea they really do get gobbled up pretty quick on the F/S forums. I just installed the WE JW364A military type and it sounds amazing right out the box. I purchased from Brent Jessee audio tubes. If you don’t see what you want on his wen pa...

Does anyone know what screwdriver/Allen wrench I need to remove the top cover? The manual says torx/T8X50? Cant seem to find that.  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

MHDT or Border Patrol

Giving up on Itunes! Alternatives? I want to run my hardrive with a dedicated tablet.
I gave up on using LMS and my SBT a few months ago for Roon plus a Nucleus. LMS became to buggy despite all the folks attempting to update the software ( on their own ) for years. Couldn’t be happier.  
Network Transport vs. CD Transport

Network Transport vs. CD Transport
I'm using a Oppo 105 fed into my Marantz SR7005 for CD's. Comparing it to streaming was pretty close. However, Just picked up a MHDT Orchid. I was so impressed with the SQ when streaming, I decided to hook the Oppo up to it and bypass the internal... 
Best Streamer for External USB Dac
Do you have many downloads? If so why not get a Nucleus (since your using Roon). Connect your DAC to it and let Roon/Nucleus handle the streaming. I’m very happy with my Nucleus and my MHDT Orchid combo with Roon.
