How good is an Oppo BDP-83 as a transport? To be used with Denafrips Ares DAC
The BDP-83 will work as a Transport and in my opinion sound alright, however with a dedicated Transport you will hear more of everything.If you don't want to spend additional funds, relax and enjoy the music, there will always be a better sounding...
