Oppo as a pre/pro

Cdrc,
I've stumbled upon several of your posts; they mostly seem snarky, nasty, not at all kind or helpful. Why don't you just keep the attitude to yourself, find another way to impart your wisdom in all things audio?

I used my Oppo 105 as a processor until I bought a Cary Cinema 12 to get DSD surround from my Sony XA5400ES that is available only via HDMI. A DirecTV Genie connects via HDMI to the 105. The 105 is perfectly adequate for this use, although the Cary Cary seems to be bit better at surround and bass management. Many folks claim a direct connection between their Oppo 105 and amp sounds better to them. I still use my Oppo 95 as a processor in a secondary setup. If you have multiple sources, you will need a preamp, processor, or some sort of switch.
