HT without a dedicated preamp or processor?

I'm wondering what would be the shortcomings, pitfalls, or possible/probable electronic obstacles, were I to use ONLY an OPPO BDP95 direct to amps.... and not in conjunction with any multi ch preamp or pROC?

It does have speaker trim and it’s own volume control too, right?

IT would connect up on the audio side, via multi ch amps, thru the analog, and the video out would be via the HDMI output to a projector.

Can you adjust/sync the audio to the image that way?

It decodes all the major audio formats, right?

I do understand it’s a one source outfit… no live events, sports, or TV.

Thanks for the help.

I ran my BDP-93 like that for 2 weeks when I had to send my UMC-1 back to Emotiva for firmware upgrades. It sounded pretty darn good and would definitely do for someone who doesn't need or use more than one source.

And, the Oppo does have volume control and bass management (bm) which is much better than their previous bm efforts. However, it is still not possible to have your rear channel speakers closer to you than your fronts, Oppo does not allow for that in the setup screen.

I'd say give it a whirl, you really don't have anything to lose....
