Using Oppo 105 for Audio from Cable Box?


I'm thinking about getting an Oppo 105, and using it to do the D/A conversion for my TV audio; i.e., instead of the Comcast cable box or TV doing the conversion. I am using an integrated amp, not an AVR or processor. And using only two-channel sound in my video system.

Does anyone have experience doing this? If so, is the sound significantly better than through the cable box? I would think it would be, but we are talking about audio from the cable company that is somewhat compromised to begin with.

Thanks!

I get the best sound by using the direct digital out from the cable box - digital rca patch - Krell Dac - CJ Preamp. It sounds as good as any other digital source in my system. You want to get your digital signal to your best dac, which in your case is clearly the Oppo 105. I think you will be very happy with this arrangement.
