I hear you Stephen but Oppo is not sitting on their laurels either. It is definitely a great product. I have not actually listened and compared the DACs in the Schiit and Oppo but could do it for fun.

Kind of wish I bought the UDP-205 instead of 203 now. https://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-...-Features.aspx

Oppo 205 USB DAC and Coaxial/Optical Inputs
An asynchronous USB DAC input supports sample rates up to 768 kHz PCM and DSD 512. For additional convenience and flexibility, the UDP-205 can convert digital signals from cable and satellite boxes, televisions, video game consoles and other digital transports with coaxial and optical digital outputs to analog. By bypassing the low fidelity, poor quality DAC of traditional computer soundcards, the UDP-205 turns any computer into a high performing multi-media source by utilizing the ES9038PRO DAC.

Yeah, I've really been thinking about buying one. Looks like an incredible product, especially for the money. The feature set is quite amazing.

Oppo packs incredible value into their products. Once they let folks start to use the internal DAC as a "standalone" DAC for other content sources, their value proposition really went off the charts.

Easy enough now that the Oppo is in the rack. Consider it done. Will be a fun experiment.
