This question is really timely. I can't compare Oppo to Meridian today...but I probably will in the future thanks to the early adopters and their comments. We get a lot of advantages with the mod 83, but what do we give up if we replace our M spinner of various types?

Roon, Technics SL10 turntable, Meridian 218, Jolida tube DAC, Nuforce STA 200 Amp and passive Swallow Acoustics ALS2 speakers
