If I had an OPPO 103 or 105, what do

I need to power front speakers and a center channel?

Do I need some additional processor or simply a multi-channel theater amp?

Thanks, Jeff

The A31 is a rarity in that it's designed specifically to be a three channel amp as opposed to multi-channel amps that are also concerned with surround and/or back channels.

You cannot use an analog source such as a phono stage, because the Oppos accept only digital input. An Oppo 105 directly into an amp should sound very good, if it satisfies your input needs. db

The Oppos are exceptionally good units and running them direct into an amp sounds very, very good... -RW-
