In Reply to: RE: What a big disappointment; NAD M51 with OPPO 105d (long) posted by John Elison on October 16, 2016 at 23:12:06:
The DA-3000 has BurrBrown PCM1795 DACs and it sounds better to me than the 105D.
I suspect what you are really hearing is differences in the unit's analog output stage. The Tascam uses NE5532 op amps vs. the Oppo's LM4562s.
Ironically, the former is a 1979 design while the latter is from 2006. :)
