Many transports have the DAC in the same box=CD player, whereas very few turntables have the phono amp built in (but a few inexpensive ones do). The phono amp is usually either stand-alone or in the pre-amp. Same with DACs, stand-alone or in the pre-amp.

To wit, I have balanced connectors and inputs on my preamp and my main audio medium will be digital. My stepfather has a vintage turntable and reel to reel that I secretly smile and wink at when I visit my parents and consider the empty space that they will fill in my system one day. Until I get to fiddle with those toys it’s my 300 disc collection and I like the looks of services like Roon.

So typical. :p Seriously though the Oppo is a very solid unit and quite flexible. A good starting point for novice audiophile. Cheers!
