Digital output or Analog output from Blu Ray playe



If you intend only to use the HDMI, component and/or optical & coaxial audio outputs, and NOT it’s analog outputs in conjunction with your HT receiver or PROC/PREAMP, should it matter then about the players digital to analog conversion abilities?

For ex. The New Oppo BDP 95 touts a better build power supply, and a reputedly vastly better set of audio DACs, over it’s sibling/brethren BDP 93. Otherwise, they are the same box.

If only digital interfaces are then used on either device, the owner of the more expensive BDP 95 is losing out, right? Or…. There’s that added $500 purchase price, and the cost for at least one pr of analog ICs to actually realize the full benny’s of the mo pricey 95…. RIGHT?

I have an Oppo BDP 83SE now and waiting for a trade-up for the 95 model. I use the analogue in the Oppo for movies and music. Sounds really good but kind of wondering how much improvement one HDMI specifically for audio and one for video would sound opposed to one HDMI for both.

Jmw, Are you saying you get better digital or better analogue sound out of the Classe SSP 800 rather than your Oppo 83SE. The 95 is much better in the analogue and the power supply is way better than the 83SE.

When you hook your Oppo 95 into your system try the analogue. Give us the differences compared to the HDMI digital in your processor.
