course), with the main difference that I use the C2200 to feed the MC207.

I'm still in my initial phases of listening, and I'd say the Oppo Sabre DAC's hold up very well to the BDA-2. I am detecting the slightest bit of extra "openness" and detail with the BDA-2 but it is not a mind-blowing difference. I do feel it is more convenient to use a dedicated DAC to switch between digital sources and then having them all go into the MX121 via the lone XLR stereo input.
I may be chasing windmills here as my system has just gone through a major change switching from Anthem and Proceed to McIntosh and already saw a huge bump in the overall audio experience. This has at least been an incremental improvement for sure!
