Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player

Topping D50s 

Now I’ve not heard the Topping D50s but it does get some buzz, but I’d be surprised if it surpasses the Oppo. The 205 is still pretty dang good but it’s just not the dragon slayer some say it is, but it’s still pretty good. I suspect ones going to have to still drop some coin to better it; probably going to spend what the listing price of the 205 was and then some maybe.

The must haves for me were a linear power supply, ultra low noise JFET at the input stage, Balanced & SE outputs and it needed to function as a reference quality preamp with precise volume attenuation (ladder) and a remote.  Most good stand alone DACs get this right now.  Life is easier when we have multiple digital and analogue inputs on our DAC. The Oppo measures at the top of the class regarding signal distortion but I do not know anything about it's topology regarding noise/jitter reduction at input. Having the flexibility of multiple inputs, a couple of gain choices for outputs as well as type of output gives me a lot of future options.  Lastly the sound of my DAC10 is sublime.  Good Luck!

I have the Oppo BD 105 and I went with the Exogal Comet plus DAC and I must say I'm very happy with the improvements 

I had the local "Best Ear" over to advise me on an amp I was trying.
My source was the Oppo 205. His comment was " I think the source
is holding you back".  
I am unsure if it is the DAC or the Player itself. I plan to borrow a better
DAC and see if that does it.
Maybe someone else has experience here?
