I also used my Oppo as a transport with a Mytek Manhatten, since traded away. The Manhattan doesn’t do HDMI but does have both digital and analog volume control, and I believe the other Myteks do as well. I used the Mytek as a preamp when my regular preamp was in the shop, but I was much happier when the latter returned to the system. The Mytek does MQA and can have optional phono preamp modules added.
Both the Mytek Brooklyn and the Bryston have “bridge” features that add streaming capability
