It depends on your needs, whether you are only playing redbook CDs or you also play high-res music, either in PCM or DSD. Playing DSD/SACD will not work if the external DAC is connected to the coaxial output of SA-14 or Oppo 205.
If you have the budget, consider Marantz SA-10 or the limited edition Marantz SA-KI Ruby. Their approach in DAC-less conversion direct from DSD (all formats upsampled to DSD 4x) is worth reading.
