Tidal on Oppo 105

I've been using an EVS modded OPPO BDP105 for the past two years as my system DAC.   Mainly playing saved wav and flac files on a solid state hard drive I have connected to it as well as playing music from Tidal which I stream through the Oppo.    Using the Oppo App on my I pad the whole arrangement works really well.   I am able to switch back and forth between my saved music and Tidal with ease.

I have the upgrade bug again, however, and am starting to look for a new DAC.    My question is would it be worth it to spend some serious money on a dedicated Digital Player(Bryston BDP or on of the Aurender products) or just use that money on the DAC itself -- Outputing from my OPPO to the DAC.  Would love to stay under $5k if possible.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Rshad,

If you like Ric's work, you may be interested in his mod'd Gustard X20 DAC. Would come in way below your budget. If you haven't yet, take a look at his website and see if it is something that might interest you. I don't own one, but I would consider it if I were in the market for a do everything DAC.
