I own a 105D and I also own a TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder. The DA-3000 has BurrBrown PCM1795 DACs and it sounds better to me than the 105D. I bought the DA-3000 to copy my LPs to DSD, but it can play both PCM and DSD directly from a USB flash drive plugged into its front-panel USB port. It can also be used as a DAC, but it doesn't have a USB DAC input--only coax, AES/EBU and SDIF-3. Anyway, I think my DA-3000 has tighter, deeper bass than my 105D and it also sounds more accurate and transparent. In other words, when I copy an LP and play it back through the DA-3000 it sounds just like the LP but when I play it back through the Oppo BDP-105D it sounds different. It has looser bass and it just doesn't sound as good as the LP directly from the turntable or through the DA-3000.
