Oppo UDP-205 DAC vs. The Competition


I wanted to know if anyone also owns the Oppo UDP-205 Audiophile Edition player like me? I was going to buy the Ayre QB-9 DAC but then I got to thinking. My Oppo player is right next to my router so I could just run a CAT 6 cable between them and I am good. I know that the Sabre DAC's in the Oppo have received many great reviews but I am curious as how it would sound compared to a more expensive DAC?
The Oppo does support Roon and quite a few other sites, so it seems like it would be a good choice.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
David

If either of you are considering selling the 205, please let me know.

I read some info on the avs forum having to do with an entity called "magnolia" that has some stock. I’m only a messenger in this regard 🙂
@f1wheels , how do you like your Ayre? And most importantly, what differences have you discovered between the Ayre and the Oppo?

Thanks,
