I own one and also the Oppo 205. The PS DS player is way better for 2 channel music playing. Although the cost is $6000 compared to $1200 for the Oppo, and the Oppo plays 4K/Blu rays discs superb. ozzy

Oppo is a universal player with an average DAC and the PS Audio PerfectWave is a well above average DAC. Completely different devices for different usecases.

If 'yall think the Oppo 205 is "average" then I must be missing something. I'll admit that I've always thought the '105 was a bit strident next to my Rega DAC, it may have been the speakers. My (new) B&W 804D3 seems to bring out the 105s potential (haven't used the Rega in a long time). The new kid ('205) is clearly better (IMO) than the '105 and it's not broken in yet! Yep, got to hear one of these $6000 monsters and get myself up to speed!
