Yeah, I guess I screwed up. I should have researched this a lot more. Furthermore, I didn't realize just how good my system is because I haven't really heard any significant difference between any of my DACs in the past 20-years. Even the DAC in my old Alesis Masterlink sounds just fine to me. The Oppo, on the other hand, sounds soft and somewhat blurry. It seems to blend everything together rather than separating individual instruments. The bass is soft and somewhat loose. It certainly doesn't have any digital stridency or harshness and almost sounds like a tube component instead of solid state. Unfortunately, I miss the detail, delineation and tight, deep bass of my Eximus DAC. I'm just glad I have an external DAC because the Oppo sounds very good when connected to my April Music Eximus DP1. That is one fine sounding DAC, IMO.
Oh, well. Such is life!
