How to connect Oppo BDP 95 and Mcintosh MX136

To Kr4,

Not sure why had to state that our comments were tangential. Based upon the ambiguous information provided by the OP on how to connect two different components. I personally felt that my suggestion was appropriate and useful based upon my experiences integrating HDMI with all analog equipment. That being said, I feel that their is no room for someone to call someone us out for merely trying to help make informed decisions based on information that is provided. The OP would easily know if the information provided by others would be useful or not..it's not up to some one like you to make that determination.

I think it is wonderful when people volunteer to help others
on the forum but, if you are unfamiliar with the specifics
and
the question has been answered, why bother?

All Oppo players have multichannel analog outputs.

As a matter of fact, my screen was not refreshed and I did not see the other responses, to include yours, therefore I was under the impression that their were no responses. Still, it does not matter, the OP will discern what response is really applicable to his/her situation. Additionally, responses such as mine could provide ideas to others who may be in similar circumstances concerning integrating analog two channel with digital, such as myself. That answers the "why".

As you know, the idea of some forums are to share ideas and experiences, truly advancing their hobby...I would assume that posters who innocently present ideas to help others would not face disparaging, condescending, or belittling comments from so called "industry experts". How does that help the hobby?

Time to get back to the music.

I have a MX-136 and a 93 and 103d Oppo’s. Use analog rca cables to connect the oppo to the analog inputs on the preamp. Just match the channels and your sub cable to the sub port on the MX-136 for sacd and dvd-Audio discs.  I run a hdmi cable from the oppo to the McIntosh for video and a coax cable or toslink from oppo to McIntosh digital input for audio. I hope that helps.
