Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination.


To my great dismay, the more I listen, I’m finding my Oppo 105 is outperforming a very well thought of DAC and transport combination for which I paid 3x the price.  Basically the sound stage is wider and better defined.
Both the DAC and transport are less than a year old.  I thought I was upgrading.
Played by itself, the DAC-transport combo sounds great.  Until I compare it to the Oppo. 
I can’t understand it!

@rvpiano - Assuming your equipment is 115V and you live near a class-x (international) airport, purchase a converter at the small electronic stores they usually have. My best shot...
OP
You may want to consider making your own power cord for this combo.
Pretty sure you can buy a 2 pin female plug.

Just a thought

 I think you may be surprised at the dynamic range of vinyl. You may find its range far exceeds digital.
Dweller,
Good idea.
But I lost the original cord when we had a fire in the music room.
