I agree.

I can't understand all the excitement about DSD on a device that doesn't do gapless, and according to the email exchange I had with Oppo, probably never will. I would think that a higher proportion of anyone's library will need gapless than will need DSD decoding, especially given the near-impossibility of ripping SACDs.

Well, to each his own -- one can't argue taste. The Oppo 105 seems a wonderful product, apart from that dumbfounding flaw.

That's a very good point you make. Given any available DSD downloads from stores are likely to be versions of the SACD catalogue. Many of which are classical and legendary recording of DSTOM and the like. All of which need gapless as you point out. Still it's the challenge of the quest I guess
