Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: New to DACs here...for better sound, get better CD player, AC for current player?

You can't output DSD [SACD] from a digital output to a PC without hacking the Oppo and the 83 series aren't one of those Oppos.

Odds are your receiver doesn't get a DSD output from the Oppo. Can you see what the receiver is processing? The Oppo will usually convert and output 24/88 through the hdmi output.

All the above is interesting but you aren't going to change one component and have it sound like the system you referenced. You are using a home theater receiver, I don't know if you posted what speakers you are using.

You might be better off setting up a two channel system, using the front amps from your receiver to start with, if that is possible.
Start with a tube preamp and add a separate dac. I would have to see, I just looked you don't have a way to just use the amps.

So what you would have to do is set up a two channel system with a home theater pass through on the preamp. That way you could build a decent tube based system, with a separate dac. You can use the Oppo as a transport in both systems.

You are never going to get the sound you seek any other way. Let us know what speakers you are using and a budget. There is a lot of good used gear out there
