Oppo 105 or PS Audio PWD Mk2

I am confused. The PS Audio PWD Mk2 is a DAC. This means you need a transport to play your CD's. The Oppo 105 is a CD player that includes a transport and DAC in one box. See:

Are you look for a one box CD player or a DAC and transport?

The PSA PW DAC MK II and PW Transport will (using the I2S connection) meet your requirements and make you very happy. It is of course more $$ then the Oppo. But the Oppo plays BD, SACD, DVD- Audio and now DSD. However the PW MK II will also play HiRez PCM files besides CD. It is also upgradable when new features are added.

My recommendation is put all your CD on a hard drive (with backup) and play through the PW DAC MK II with Bridge and save the money vs the transport. As great as the PW Transport is it is possible to get great sound with the right server and the PW DAC MK II with Bridge.

Given your comment concerning the Esoteric your taste may be very similar to mine. I`d recommend the Oppo 105 and then get the Modwright modification. You`ll have world class natural sound for very 'reasonable' money.This unit is high resolution with excellent musicality.
