I considered the Oppo 203 but in my audio architecture it just makes zero sense that a player should have a DAC. A receiver/processor should have a DAC, or even more purely the speaker itself. The DSP that corrects for room effects is in the receiver. If they turn the Oppo into a powerful calibration capability, then I would have gone for it. Instead I purchased a Sony UBP-X800 for $300:
