Moving up from an Oppo 205

I’d go the upgrade route with Modwright. Once I rolled in NOS rectifier and out put tubes my 205 went from a pretty good but somewhat lean'ish sounding DAC to an incredible sounding world class DAC/Preamp. You’ll spend between 2000-3000 or so for the full upgrade and it’s well worth it. I just checked the site and they are running a Pre Black Friday 20% off sale.

Dan and his team are an absolute pleasure to deal with. 👍

   Whoever recommended the Border Patrol DAC, it hasn't streaming capability. The OP asked for combo DAC/ streamer recommendations.

I’ve bought 3 Modwright players--the Sony 9000, 9100, and my current 5400 with all Dan’s upgrades. I’ve loved them all and bought all used on Audiogon. My whole system has been bought used except for some of the cables. I’ve had great success in getting very reliable products. Dan REALLY stands behind his products, even if you bought it from someone else used. And the key point is, his players SOUND fantastic, in comparison to the stock players or much more expensive players.  His Oppo players are also very good sounding, but there is some risk at getting them repaired in the future as Oppo is no longer in business.

I own a PS Audio DSD and a DSD Junior. I also own a Chord Qutest as well. I am quite happy listening to any one of the three. When Listening to the Qutest I feel like it can't get any better. Then I switch to the DSD and find that it is in fact, better, more involving. And the DSD Jr. is as well. If you have self control, something I obviously don't possess, I'd say find a clean DSD Jr., upgrade it's firmware to the new Windom, and enjoy it.

I also have an Oppo 105 and a 205 so I m familiar with their sound. I have never heard a Mytek....

I would first look at which USB cable you're using. WireWorld series 8 was a big improvement for me in my 105
