I think the Oppo 105 analog is quite good, but you can decide for yourself by taking advantage of Oppo's 30-day return policy if it doesn't satisfy you. You'd be out only the cost of return shipping. Lots of folks who post at AVS argue for using a 95 or 105 direct to amps, eliminating a preamp or processor. The Oppos can do speaker configuration, bass management, and volume control, and their video processing is excellent.
We use analog from a 105 in our HT setup. Stereo goes through a Parasound Halo JC-2 analog preamp that it shares with a Sony XA5400ES and JC-3 phono stage. The amps are Proceed HPA monsters that drive KEF Reference 107/2 mains and 102 surrounds. The sound, whether music or HT, is superb. Video projected onto a 100" screen is also superb. We use the 105 as the processor for all surround, including that from a DirecTV HD-DVR. SW from the 105 goes to a pair of Velodyne SMS-1s that control a pair of HGS-15s.
