Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination.

To my great dismay, the more I listen, I’m finding my Oppo 105 is outperforming a very well thought of DAC and transport combination for which I paid 3x the price.  Basically the sound stage is wider and better defined.
Both the DAC and transport are less than a year old.  I thought I was upgrading.
Played by itself, the DAC-transport combo sounds great.  Until I compare it to the Oppo. 
I can’t understand it!

OP
You may want to consider making your own power cord for this combo.
Pretty sure you can buy a 2 pin female plug.

Just a thought

@mahler123.
 I think you may be surprised at the dynamic range of vinyl. You may find its range far exceeds digital.

Dweller,
Good idea.
But I lost the original cord when we had a fire in the music room.

I found an adapter that accommodates a three pronged plug into two prongs on Amazon.
We’ll se if that makes a difference.
