I received my DP-550.
Few impressions: very good player. Meanwhile I able to compare it only with Oppo-105D as player and as streamer. (btw I have TASCAM CD-601 which was very good player at the time and compare with him)
I understand that compare this units is not fair enough due to different price range, but may be it is might be useful for somebody.
As cd player it is incomparable. Sound of the Oppo is very harsh in comparison.
As transport for cd connected to Dp-550 as DAC it is better, but difference in sound is obvious.
Comparison between streaming cd NAS-OPPO-DP-550 versus playing the same disc in DP-550 is probably less audible than previous but exist.
Unfortunatelly can not compare SACD streaming and playing since DSD through SPDIF not supported. And it is pity as I have many SACD on NAS
I know I can burn DVD-R DSD disc's but it is uncomfortable this days
