Replace Macbook into Oppo with Lumin T2 for streamer/DAC?
I have an oppo 95 and even when it was the current model I was not impressed with tits sound quality.  I've never heard the 105 but I'm pretty sure you can do a lot better.

Just what percentage of digital artifacts removed
I think we've debated this topic enough.  You prefer vinyl.  Enjoy it!  I will enjoy my digital.  On my system, guitars never sound like birds chirping (except that bit that Duane Allman did on  Layla) and kick drums never sound like cardboard boxes.
