Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: How does the OPPO 103D stack up?

Actually, I am motivated by potential performance improvements but I'm also heavily into DSD. I have been copying DSD files onto USB flash drives for replay in the Oppo as well as in my new TASCAM DA-3000. The thing is that the DA-3000 sounds quite noticeably better than the Oppo with DSD files. I'll try the Oppo directly into the Parasound, but I'm skeptical since it doesn't even measure up to the TASCAM DA-3000 with DSD, and DSD is my main focus these days.

I would love to replace the Pass Labs components and I'm considering the new Mytek Manhattan, which has analog inputs as well as an optional phono stage. I'm waiting to audition one to find out if it sounds as good as the TASCAM DA-3000. The Oppo just doesn't hack it with DSD as far as I can tell.

Thanks,
John Elison
