To go back to the OP, the Oppo 83 can be improved upon. Personally I run a 105 into the HDMI input of my Bryston DAC and I have an excellent soundstage when spinning SACD. The results of course depend upon the quality of the original recording. I also run a 203 into a Anthem AVR in a HT system, and the soundstage is consistently more expansive than the CA CXN V2 streamer in the same system.
Digital with same soundstage as analog
I have a modest setup, but the analog sounds good to me. Question, can I get the same soundstage with digital by adding a DAC or Streamer?
Current equipment is;
VPI Scout with Hana SL
Parasound A21
Vincent SA32 Preamp
Elac PPA2
Dyneaudio Emit 30
Oppo 83SE
room is conditioned floor to ceiling and approximately 12x24’
When I play SACD’s, the soundstage is no where near the analogue presence. Maybe it’s the SACD player that’s limiting my experience to go streaming.
Advice based on setup would be helpful
Thanks in advance
