Anyone else having this much joy from their 205? 
Oppo 205 revelations, questions..
A big benefit of the Oppo 205. Listening to Starlight( or whatever the tv gives free) renditions of Chamber Music has convinced me to buy into a high quality streaming service. Now. Which one is it to be? This Oppo has really been worth its weight... 
Oppo 205 and external DAC?

“Oppomod” linear power supply
@bar81. I was looking at the MIT Cables site today and noticed they’ve gone to very aggressive power conditioning units.$$$.  To me this validates the benefits of power conditioning in our ever noisier digital environment, as you and I have experi... 
BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM
@puzzleman. Thanks for the informative and powerful post. I think the FBI is much appreciated by posts such as yours.  
“Oppomod” linear power supply
@bar81 . Thanks for input. I believe the investment in ac power conditioning is extremely worthwhile. Enjoy the music!

@dweller   I’m using high level Spectral Pre and amp with high level MIT throughout. The sound is excellent. Way above it’s price point as far as I’m concerned.
