Audio improvement for OPPO 205

It is rumored to use the new ESS DAC chips.

But without listening to it (in a blind test) no one can say.

OTOH, it is always fun to speculate so my guess is that it will sound a lot better if it has a fancier case and is released on the date of the next harmonic convergence.

The 9038 chip seems primarily a 'features' upgrade to enhance flexibility for designers. They don't stress improved sound quality..

ok, well maybe they'll bore some holes in the top and stick some tubes thru them...
