Another alternative would be a VAC preamp & preferably with HT Bypass.
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!

Since I cannot post in message, try this link for the photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cgWrZqVL6u1M791P9 hope that works. At this point, I would use a single 10,000uf 50V Nichicon KW add-on for each of the three power supply sections. |
I just built a really great front end with my Oppo 105.
4TB SSD -> Oppo USB port IPad -> Home WiFi Wifi to Ethernet Bridge -> Oppo Ethernet Port It's basically an IPod on Super Steroids. 4TB worth of music playable through an IPod like interface on the IPad, but with no music on the IPad itself. IPad is basically a remote with volume control on it and thousands of CD's accessible at my fingertips.. |
