The new Oppo uses the ESS Sabre32 DAC chip, which seems to maintain fidelity in the face of much higher jitter compared with others...or at least so the comparison above shows....so it might be able to achieve decent performance with a relatively poor transport section.
Indeed, implementations of the Sabre32 may well be worth listening to in their own right if the manufacturer is correct in his claim that he has succeeded in decoupling signal and noise levels. See here http://www.esstech.com/PDF/sabrewp.pdf
