I'd better get on my horse and hear one of these "new fangled" DACs.
If 'yall think the Oppo 205 is "average" then I must be missing something.
I'll admit that I've always thought the '105 was a bit strident next to my Rega DAC, it may have been the speakers. My (new) B&W 804D3 seems to bring out the 105s potential (haven't used the Rega in a long time).
The new kid ('205) is clearly better (IMO) than the '105 and it's not broken in yet! Yep, got to hear one of these $6000 monsters and get myself up to speed!
