To clarify, I don't own the Oppo 105d either (my bad, my post wasn't clear on this). I'm not wed to buying the Oppo, and I have previously wondered whether it makes sense for me to use a general purpose PC as a server to a DAC, instead of buying a server or something along the lines of what you suggested. The Oppo 105d is about $1300, which is in the middle of the range of two models of the Auralic Aries ($999 and $1599). The Bryston BDP-2 is about $3k, so the Oppo could be cheaper if I can run it off my existing PC.

I thought about the Oppo 105 because (i) it seems to handle a lot of functions, including most disc and data formats as well as having an asynchronous USB input and (ii) it gets generally favorable reviews from a lot of sources. I confess that when I got to do small audition of the Oppo at the Newport High end show, I played the same track off the Oppo and then on a turntable playing through the same system, and everyone including the dealer thought the turntable sounded better (but it was ~$8k).

I hadn't given much thought to using the Oppo as a dlna renderer running off the NAS in my office, but I will look into that. Thanks for the input.

The DAC/converter is 80% - JeffH 21:07:11 01/25/15 (11)

And if DAC, as appears to be the case with OP, is already present - then what? - carcass93 05:36:50 01/26/15 (10)

So now that you have QB9 - do you care about those 20% (staying with your "math")? - carcass93 09:54:19 01/26/15 (7)

You are right - JeffH 19:48:33 01/26/15 (4)
