Hi Guys,
I am new to this gear, Geek Pulse, looks like a long thread with a lot of reviews. I need help selecting a DAC, I am comparing Oppo 105/105D as a stand alone DAC vs Geek Pulse. What are the pros and cons. Please help!
Thanks!

The Geek Pulse and Geek Pulse X are better than the Oppo BDP-105. I knew within 10 minutes of listening to my Geek Pulse (standard) that I was going to sell the BDP-105 and it was gone 2 weeks later. I now use a Geek Pulse X in my stereo and Pulse on my PC for headphones.
The BDP-105 does many other things that are also valuable, so if you're willing to compromise on sound quality to gain a ton more useful features, then the Oppo BDP-105 should still be at the top of your list. When it comes to pure 2 channel DAC capability and headphone capability, there is no contest. Geek Pulse wins.
