No don't give up your Oppo , but don't neglect the HTPC either. :lol:
As much as you can afford to do, upgrade the HTPC so it is as capable
as the Oppo.
Maybe you need to invest in a better Mch soundcard?
You didn't mention which one is in your HTPC, but a Xonar DS 2 would
be a good starting point.

Yes true DSD playback is still difficult and the only solutions around
currently are all silly money, like the Mytek you mentioned.
Merging Technologies told me they could sort me out for around
£10,000, but they don't really have a 'consumer' solution for DSD.
