I checked all your recommended settings on my Oppo and made changes where necessary to ensure they were all as you suggested. I think my Oppo might be sounding better, but as you say it's a little recessed in the highs. The midrange is nice, though. Bass is still not as tight as my Eximus DP1 DAC, but it might be a little better that before. I think the Oppo was voiced for people who like tube equipment. It just gives me that impression. Quite frankly, that might be a good sonic signature for a lot of digital recordings. I'm going to try some real digital stuff tomorrow or the next day. I've been playing 24/96 copies of vinyl records and also some 24/192 copies of analog master tapes. It sounds a little better than before, but it just doesn't have impact and transparency of my other DAC on these types of analog/digital recordings.
Best regards,
