Thats assuming he has an Oppo 105 Dbphd. Or any BDP with built in decoders and multi-channel analog outputs. We do not even know what he has for a source. He doesn't tell us.
Since he asked about two now fairly obsolete pre/pros and which to use, I suggested he use the one with multi-channel analog inputs IN CASE he has a Blu-ray player with a full set of analog outputs to enjoy the lossless codecs.
So only under these circumstances, he would not need a new pre/pro. If he is even interested in the new lossless formats. Maybe he is not.
