Is OPPO losing it's way?


Their new 'upgrade' Sonica DAC is using the new ESS ES9038PRO Sabre Dac; while the new
UHD player UDP-203 uses the new AKM (4458). What gives? Why not just use the best for both-especially with the promise of UHD?

I use the 103D with a M51 DAC and it's a kilier combo.  It's worth noting that I use the stereo analog outs for casual listening, mostly to take advantage of the remote volume...the M51 has volume control but I love the OPPO app on my tablet.   It sounds pretty good,  no comparison to a serious DAC but that's why the 105 exists.  I was looking for a universal transport that could stream Netflix and Pandora and for $600 it was a no brainer......awesome machine for three money
