Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?

I think I've a decent HT setup but still feel there's something missing. I watch movies 70% & listen to music 30%.

Since Oppo provides pretty clean sound, wondering if upgrading to a dedicated PreAmp will make any difference. If it does, what would you recommend in say $1000-$2000 range? I intend to bypass the Video & connect straight to my Plasma on HDMI 1.4a.

Thank you!

Look at the Emotiva XMC-1, this is a VERY capable multi-channel preprocessor and offers the XLR connections you seek. It's only $1995 with 30 day in-home trial and a 5 year warranty - w00t!!
