The Oppo does more than just the DAC. You are playing for its universal disc playback

I think the Oppo and Teac are typical of the the Sabre32 vs BurrBrown sound signatures.

The Oppo is smoother and sweeter. The Teac is less detailed but has a slightly warmer more engaging sound.

You takes your pick.

I have the Oppo 95 and the UD-501. I prefer the 501

No offense, but I'm having some trouble with the descriptions. I think people often use smoother and less detailed as rough synonyms. Same with sweeter and warmer. Can you elaborate on the differences to clarify?
