I prefer the sound of my TASCAM DA-3000 to my OPPO BDP-105D. The DA-3000 is more accurate with deeper, tighter bass. The BDP-105D is more polite like it was voiced to sound like tube electronics with less defined bass.
When I first bought the OPPO BDP-105D I was accustomed to the Eximus DP1 and I didn't like the OPPO in comparison. I have many digital recordings of LPs that sounded just like vinyl through the Eximus DP1. I could tell immediately that the OPPO was not accurate when I played my own recordings because vinyl has a softer, smoother sound quality and the OPPO exaggerated the vinyl sound by making it even softer and smoother than the real thing. It probably improved the sound of a lot of purely digital recordings, but I didn't like what it did to my vinyl recordings. After buying the TASCAM, I regained my appreciation for accuracy in reproduction. The TASCAM also sounds as good if not better than the Eximus DP1, which was my favorite DAC prior to buying the TASCAM.
