RE: SACD to HDMI to ??? to external DAC?

As I said my Oppo is very close to the PS Audio Lambda a transport that is over 20 years old. A transport that sold for $1895 in 1993.

So, which PS Audio transport is he comparing it to?
The current model the PerfectWave Memory Player Transport [PWT]retails for $4k.

I have found transports to have differences in sound that are easier to hear than similarly priced dacs.

Maybe the Cambridge is a real steal, I haven't heard it, but the PWT is much better than the Oppo. The PWT does a better job of separating instruments and vocals. Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" is highly compressed and it can be hard to hear the vocals. At least with my Oppo or Lambda, the PWT does a much better job of separating all the clutter.

Remember there are lots of variables when making these comparisons. the dac used, the cables used, isolation, and every other component in the system that follows the dac.
