Oppo 105 was first, song wasn’t engaging like I hoped. James Taylor – Line Them Up DSD from SACD sampler Sonica App -1 but same for Oppo 105 app…both somewhat blah. Again sound stage smaller, guitar with harshness…not as easy to crank up. Had issues with Oppo Media App so went to SMB for this round of listening. Cymbals easy on the ears…big sound, easy to turn up.īack to Oppo 105 – congested and narrow soundstage, back to brittle cymbals and the snap just isn’t there.īack to Sonica – Money for Nothing….big bass, imaging sounds right…just realized my previous listening was FLAC or Redbook CD….īack to Oppo 105 – Same Song. Sonica DAC - Snappy drums, wide sound stage. Next song…ĭire Straits – So Far Away from me DSD from MOFI SACD Second listen to Steely Dan - Aja, Sonica provides more separation between instruments. Horns harsh at the end of song, never much liked sax on digital. Not bad to listen but Sonica seems to be an improvement. More constrained, less detail on backup singers vibrato and cymbals more glare. ![]() Bass tight and controlled.īack to Oppo 105 Same song over wired network using DNLA. It found my network server and played first song Steely Dan, Aja DSD over wireless. Not enough noise at this point to change my whole rig but if I decide to keep it, I will have to rewire everything.Īpp a bity clumsy but figured it out. Power Cable a tad short for me but they couldn’t know this -0ĭetected some digital noise in my speakers and switched to shielded RCA which reduced some of it…had issues with this in the past when my Oppo 105 was too close to my preamp. You could also run Roon Core on an Intel-powered (not embedded processor powered) QNAP or Synology NAS and just connect it via USB to the SDAC, and not use the SDAC's network connection or functions and instead use it just as a DAC. If you don't want to control the SDAC via the Sonica app, I guess you could not download it and then use the Ethernet connection of the MicroRendu for network connections. However, the SDAC already can connect to uPnP/DNLA servers and AirPlay/iTunes through WiFi and Ethernet (among other connections such as Bluetooth, USB, coax, and Toslink) via the Sonica app so there would be a certain duplication of features. If you need a Roon Ready solution, you can purchase a Sonore MicroRendu and connect it to the SDAC. For example, they went to great lengths to engineer a way to enable gapless playback on the BDP-105D, all in response to consumer requests. Again, if there is enough demand and if it is technically feasible, it could be, especially knowing how responsive zippo is to customer feedback. My guess is that if there is enough demand and if it is technically feasible, it could be.Īlso, the SDAC is not a certified Roon Ready endpoint. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it "will not be" supported in the future. Click to expand.MQA isn't supported in the SDAC right now and probably not in the immediate future.
