And you would know, because?
I'm not being funny dude, but recommend whatever you like to whoever you like. However, making such bold statements like that one ^ are really not a good idea if you have no experience with the product.
Nothing annoys me more than when people come up with a random put down comment "just because". Just because that isn't what you recommended.
If you had one and if you had listened to it you would know it's more than enough unless of course you want to go deaf by the time you are thirty, and is also portable too so offers more features.
Note - nowhere do I say "Don't buy what he says you should buy because <insert reason here>".
That Oppo is one of the best DACs on the market for the money. I just watched a review of what you have recommended and Linus had issues with it thinking his headphones were an antenna and it was giving out all sorts of noise and feedback.
Bigger does not = better.
It annoys me when people twist words. Where did I say just because?
I didn't say it sucked, I said it is less powerful than the schiit stack, it also is less expandable. Why pay more for less? Or is that what we are doing now?
Ironically Alien, the one putting out a put-down comment is you. Turning a simple statement into something that is soooo sooo sooo wrong and ear scratching, that you must come out and voice your displeasure.
I did not say bigger = better either, except in this case it does. You may think it is great value for a portable DAC/AMP, but for a desktop use it is severaly lacking compared to the Schiit stack. The Schiit stack is quite famous for how cheap yet chuffing amazing value for money. It cannot be beat at this price.
BTW I should ask since you assumed this, have you used the schiit stack before? Have you actually used the product? Did you compare them to the Oppo? Because if you did not, then you are being a hypocrite here.
Note - nowhere do I say "Don't buy what he says you should buy because <insert reason here>".
Can you tell me where I said that as well? Oh right you cannot. I said it is not worth the money when he can get something better cheaper.
Next time before trying to call someone out, don't assume things or twist words and actually look at both products technical details to back up your claim. One quick glance and you would know it's not really even that close.
For a portable DAC/AMP it is impressive, but at the price it is it should be. But you are trying to compare a portable DAC/AMP to a desktop DAC/AMP. It won't ever be close. Portables just cannot draw enough power to keep up.
I mean it's not even much better than a Fiio E10k for the money and the E10k is less than double the price of the Oppo
