@dcaudio - Interested to know what you feel is lacking in your Oppo 205? Mine is so resolving that I can't imagine anything sounding better. I'm not saying there is nothing better, I just haven't heard it (yet). Thanks
Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby
I have a Sony SCD-777ES with Kern modes and a super clock. Run it these days only for CD with an External Oppo Sonica DAC. Also have the Oppo UDP-205. I am interested to get something better. Will spend up to $ 5,000. Could be new or used. Could also be an upgrade. The Marantz SA-KI Ruby seems a nice choice. But I am open to something else. What is my reference to match - Oracle Delphi with ET-2 tone arm and a Cello Miyabi cartridge. I want a SACD/CD rig that sounds as good as my vinyl rig. Neither Sony nor Oppo can do that. Thank you.
