Haven’t compared it to the Oppo, but I’m a big fan.

For my money, the DS Memory Transport/DAC combo is hard to beat. Especially when Ted keeps upping the ante with new firmware updates.

Bear in mind though with RedCloud on the big DS DAC, if you are running it as a DAC (ie full volume) you may notice some clicks/pops with DSD sources (including the Memory Transport). PS Audio is aware of the issue and I expect the new firmware will fix it - but for now, the workaround is to run the DAC at 80 instead of 100 volume. Primarily happens on DSD files that have been mastered to louder levels

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I have a feeling that I will have to start selling off some gear to fund a DMP. Fortunately, I already have a decent HDMI cable that I'm using with my DSD.
