RE: OPPO as network player for hi rez?

I replaced my Cambridge Audio Stream6 V1 with a 105D. In addition to supporting 24/192 and DSD64, I prefer the sound of the ESS Dac in the 105 to the Wolfson in the Stream6. Much of that is likely due to the output section in the 105. I don't use the balanced outputs currently.

I use the wired Ethernet connection, connecting to a Synology NAS as my DLNA server and mConnectHD on iPad and iPhone for DLNA control.

Why the preference? Ah, subjective listening terminology warning... I find the Stream6 to be darker tonally, perhaps a bit richer, but less dynamic. The 105 pops, seems to image better, and sounds more balanced to my ear.

YMMV
