OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1

Thanks again undertow. I think my LFD integrated amplifier is pretty limited on inputs, but I'll check it out.

That is how I used my DAC1 w/ an Oppo.
Coax to DAC1 for CD and movies.
L&R analogue out (better than the stereo out) to preamp for everything else.

Mjcmt,

Interesting. Are you saying that the L&R multi-channel analog outputs sound better than the dedicated stereo output? I thought the stereo output was supposed to be higher quality than the multichannel outputs. I'll have to check this out when I get home.

Johsti,
The L&R is definitely higher quality from everything I have read. You will have to go into the audio menu section and turn off center and rears to devert all info to L&R (if you have no multichannel amplification for your audio). There has been some excellent tests over the years talking about getting the best sound from Oppo's and all have concluded that the stereo outputs are not as good on 2 channel analogue sound. I now have a Denon and apply the same techqniue on it as well.
