I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!

If I were you, I'd add a good DAC. Keep the Oppo and use it as a CD transport and your DVD player. A good stand alone DAC will be a big improvement over the Oppo by itself. Some of the DAC's that I see most frequently mentioned in these forums are: 

Auralic "Vega", Mytek "Brooklyn" and the PS Audio "Direct Stream Jr or Sr."

As for the digital cable, if all your cables already match then "keep it in the family." If you've got a ,mixture of cable/interconnect brands, then God help you in that search!

Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for (and without too much effort or frustration).

Honashagen, I know exactly what you're talking about; I mean what's the point if you're just going to listen to music and not be moved, and I mean by your rig and the playback.

I have never been moved by a SS pre, regardless of the price; can you think tubes?

I did tubes. Prima Luna Prologue Premium and Audible Illusions L1. Not the same punch as the SMC DNA1 Gold power amp.

An Oppo direct to anything is sub optimal...just sayin’!  Dr give you an RX for this disease yet Honeshagen?

Did a Chord Qutest Dac- $1900 Couldn't tell a difference.
