Help set up OPPO 105

Just an fyi, at least as I understand it ... If wanting to use the Oppo and its DAC to play DSD files, the playback will not be in DSD if the DSD files are wirelessly streamed to the Oppo via the Oppo's WiFi adapter. On the other hand, playback is in DSD if the DSD files are on a harddrive connected directly to the Oppo's USB port.

You'll want to hook up the analog inputs too if you have any SACDs or DVD-Audio discs. Like others have said you should listen to the 105's analog outputs, you may be surprised at how good it sounds.

Thanks for feedback. So regardless of if I'm using the DAC in OPPO or Hegel I only need SPDIF cable and can swap accordingly?

the Oppo has a long break in time before it sounds good

Oddiofyl: If you are using the DAC in the Oppo, you'll need to go out the analog inputs to your pre-amp. If you hookup with only the digital cable, the Oppo DAC will be doing work but you'll not be sending its analog outputs anywhere!

Ditto on the break in time needed for the Oppo (video or analog); both required 500+ hours here at a minimum...
