The whole point of buying the 105 over the 103, which is less than 1/2 the price) is for the DACs in the 105... -RW-

It looks like he is asking how good the Spectral is, using the Oppo as a low price point, and the Alpha as an upper limit.

Is it worthwhile? Would that combination improve the sound of online radios and other downloads? Thanks.
