Anyone using an OPPO this way have any ideas? Thanks

I have an Oppo 205 as well. I play music files over the network using Minimserver on a NAS. Have also tried the same files on a portable USB drive attached to the OPPO. I have also tried the CD music on the OPPO.
Observations:
- The OPPO 205 does not support gapless play except through either the CD itself or the USB port. They claim to be working on this, but with the recent news re: OPPO I would not count on it.
- OPPO does not have a music library function (such as JRiver, Sonos, etc), - it is more of a file browser for the HD. So, I found the attached USB HD to be not very useful
- I listened to a couple of well-mastered CD's over the network and via the CD itself (Beethoven Piano Sonatas and Dire Straits)- so very different musical content. I could not detect a difference. Volumes appeared to be well-matched, using a SPL meter.
