Your Oppo dac becomes passive once connected to your Heggel dac however from my experience bluray/dvd/cdp are lousy transports their inner dac and complex electronic circuits add noise and jitter. it’s better to use pure cd transport and good coax cable to allow your dac to perform at its best capability.
Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs
'Sup?
I have my Oppo 105 feeding a Hegel 160 integrated - which I just got and am so far extremely happy with. However, does this combo render the Oppo's Sabre DAC meaningless? Am I hearing just the Hegel's DAC? And is there any way to by-pass the Hegel DAC by, say, running a digital cable from the Hegel to the Oppo to start a loop?
Should I look for a decent transport and move the Oppo to another system? I'm not really interested in getting a streamer or going that route at the moment.
Thank you in advance.
