One small update.
It did smooth out
some after 48 hours lol, masterlu was right
But I gave it back on the third day.
The big difference was to not use the digital cable. I used a free optical cable that came with something else. With the digital cable to N10 the OPPO 205 with hdmi sounded better When I went to the optical cable it became more clear, and the timing became sweet and short. Drums and cymbals became shorter and more precise, I could hear more detail and separation between strings with an acoustic guitar.
The oppo was the winner, now the N10 is the winner. But when comparing the N10 versus the bluesound the difference is marginal with the edge going to N10.
I still didn't get huge gains that I was expecting, when the Mc MX166 comes out, I'll revisit the N10 for sure.
