I have a pair McCormack DNA1.0 powered Thiel CS1.5, couldn’t be happier. 
Should I buy the Oppo BD 205?
No, if you just an audiophile and not a 4K viewer. Actullay, 105D is more capable than 205D. 105D has TIDAL app loaded. You can streaming Tidal HiFi directly on 105D.

Try iFi iDSD DAC. Now offer free MQA firmware flash. I tried Tidal MQA Master streaming. I can say MQA sound better then Redbook. You should listen to it. Best of all, it's all free with Tidal HiFi.  
Ifi iDSD New firmware update now support MQA - Free upgrade
Went back home and flush the newest firmware. Now direct Tidal MQA master directly through iFi IDSD DAc. My gosh, compare to FLAC 44.1k/16bit, the MQA 192k/24 bit is very much like my DSD playback. Super happy. 
Ideas for my next DAC....?

“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart
Tidal desktop will stream MQA at 24bit/96khz without a MQA decoder. I have an Oppo HA-1 DAC will can decode 24/96. Consider MQA is free with Tidal, I have no complain. Compare 24/96 to 16/44.1, 24/96 is much better.  
Basic DAC Question
OPPO 105D is good enough for music. Has Tidal direct streaming (not on 205). Balanced out to Amp and sounds super. 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
Start OPPO 105, with Tidal and Digital Concert Hall App installed, it become an instant music video audio streamer. Lossless music. Use your iphone or ipad to select the music.  
Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player
I use OPPO 105D streaming Tidal using IPad as controller.  
MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote!
1. Foolish new algorithm? - I vote Yes2. MQA for better sound? - I vote Yes3. MQA for music industry to milk more money? - I vote Yes4. MQA enjoyable? - Yes5. Is MQA Tidal better than non-MQA Tidal? - I vote Yes6. Is MQA better than non-MQA native... 
Should I buy a new cd player or DAC or both or neither?
A good streamer will do.  
Classe SSP 800's DAC vs Oppo 105's DAC
I use my Oppo 105 stock to stream Tidal directly to Krell 300i integrated amp using XLR balanced. using iPad to browse and control. Super easy and sound is super. 
CD players = dead?
CD, DVD, Blue-Ray, 4K disc player will all be dead. Everything is on the cloud.  
Rotal 1072, Oppo 95, or Oppo 105?
105. You will get Tidal App loaded on this machine and streaming direct. Skip transport and DAC.
