Is an OPPO BDP 95 the best cdp/dac under $1k

The Oppo 95 doesn't have DAC inputs. The 105 does. As a universal player, the Cambridge Audio equivalents of the Oppo (same video chipset and transport but with CA's analog stage) aren't a bad alternative but I don't think the CA has DAC inputs though

One of the factors that argues very strongly for Oppo and which gets mentioned but not nearly often enough is that Oppo's customer service is second to none.

I have the 95 and have not used the 105. Although the 105 does have feature improvements over the 95, it is nevertheless possible even with the 95 to play digital audio files either (1) that are stored on an external hard drive which is then connected to the 95's USB port or (2) that are stored on a PC which is then connected wirelessly to the 95.

What about the Rega Apollo-R? it uses a Wolfson WM8742, great dac.
