Are You Using A Separate DAC With Your Oppo 105?


.
For cd playback, does the DAC in the Oppo 105 hold its own, or have any of you boosted its performance with a separate DAC?

If so, what DAC are you using to improve its performance?

What improvements did you notice?

A friend just concluded that the 105's dac beat the Mytec & equalled the PS Audio perfect wave I. Others there thought Perfectwave still a tad better.

Of course, the DSD capability of the Mytec wasn't part of the comparison.

If Oppo can upgrade firmware on the 105 for DSD, that could make it quite the bargain. Cheers,

Wow, that's impressive. The new Perfect Wave DAC is $4k. The mere fact that it was thought of as equal or near equal to the Perfect Wave makes it an astounding bargain.

Coming soon.
That would be a complete waste of money given the quality of the Oppo DAC and the 105's analog outputs. If the external DAC had a better analog output stage than maybe. A potentially an expensive proposition.
