Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
Wanted to revive thread in appreciation of HQ Player. I am in awe of what it has been doing with FLAC files upsampled to 512 DSD. I was gravitating more to streaming for the past couple of years. But with the HQ Player, I have been looking more to... 
HiFi Rose RD160 DAC
@toro3, Good to know that my feedback would be helpful. My decision was based on tons of reading user reviews (not professional) and reaching out to folks 1:1 on PMs. Most people will be helpful in providing their perspective. And it helps even m... 
DAC for Aurender N200
+1 @jwpstayman  The Aurender and T+A DAC 200 might make a great combo, since the Aurender can do both - PCM and DSD on USB. This is one flexible DAC with tons of option.  
Any regrets in selling gear?
I have made up my mind that I want to sell my Oppo UDP-205 soon. Not sure if I will regret later. I have not spun a single disc since July-2020. But you never know how regret strikes.  
HQ Player for Dummies
@dolfan , I recently purchased the T+A DAC 200 and decided to download the HQ Player. I was able to get it up and running under 20 minutes. The ODF manual is straightforward and Jussi has already defaulted the best filters and modulator for DSD o... 
HiFi Rose RD160 DAC

Tube selection 12AT7 and 12AX7 - preamp
If you get a chance to try the Psvane Horizon series tubes, please give it a shot. My NOS Mazda 1962s are resting in their boxes.  
HiFi Rose RD160 DAC
Good luck - hope someone responds to your query. But the RD160 is very new. As for me, I got the T+A DAC 200.  
Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs
Started this thread almost 5.5 years ago. Wanted to at least mention that my search has ended after I replaced the Oppo UDP-205 player/DAC with the T+A DAC 200. I am very pleased and satisfied with the change.  
Sony or Panasonic 4K Player vs. Magnetar or Reavon Universal Player
From experience I can say that as a CD player, the Oppo 205 is average (6/10). But use it as a DAC and you will start wondering what high end DACs might bring to the table (8/10). It is that good.
