Nonoise & Rello, I did look at Marantz. The 8400 & 8500 only have one pair of RCA analog outputs. My Creek amp will take balanced and I also hace a Schiit Valhalla headphone amp that only has RCA inputs. The Oppo 105 has balanced and single ended outputs so its a perfect match.
Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC
I just purchased a Creek EVO 50A amp and a pair of Spendor S3/5R2 that sits on my office desktop. I also have an IMAC and an original Dragonfly DAC. I want to get a CD Player / DAC and see Creek will be releasing one soon, the EVO 50CD at $1500.00 and Rega has one too, the Saturn-R at $3000.00. My question is why would I buy one of those since I can get a new Oppo BDP-105 CD/DAC for $1200.00 that plays SACD and Blu-Ray Discs and has Pandora and I can attach a hard Disc or a thumb drive. I don't get it. Are Creek and Rega not aware of the Oppo or do they really sound thay much better?
