Oppo BDP-95


I am a bit nervous. I am going to hook up my new BDP-95 directly to a pair of new Bel Canto Ref1000M monoblocks using the BDP-95's XLR outputs. From what I have read using the XLR outputs (Set on variable) on the BDP-95 the sound is great when hooked up WITHOUT a preamplifier. What, if any, experience has any member had with bypassing the preamplifier with a BDP-95. Thanks

I don't actually bypass a Cary Cinema 11a processor, but I do have its inputs set to bypass, so the BDP-95 does the processing. OTOH, I use the volume control of the Cary, and the Cary converts the unbalanced 7.1 inputs to balanced output to the amps. Stereo, of course, is passed through as balanced.
