I still use an Oppo 105 for Blue Ray and Dvd's which it does a nice job with but if I recall correctly the one time I tried to play an SACD I could only output it through the OPPO's analogue output. Could not output it digitally and into my external Dac, it had to go through the Oppo's Dac.
Marantz vs. Oppo or Theta
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the weird comparisons. I'm thinking of getting a Marantz 7706 because of the manual EQ features (that's right, not looking for room correction).
My biggest issues with processors and HT receivers in the past is that some of them just sounded like garbage. Really really thin, like AM radios. Several Japanese brands and Emotiva were brands I could not really listen to for long.
My question is how the Marantz compares say to the Oppo BD players, which were excellent, or say a Theta from a decade ago. I'm not looking for perfection, but robust and transparent.
Thank you,
Erik
