My Parasound New Classic 7000 processor blew up, so I tried the Oppo 103D as a processor, the sound was better in all ways through the Oppo.
No one has or I think will, build a multi-player that can function as a processor, so I bought another 103D for $600CDN. Because electronics break, and hopefully this set up will last me until they figure out HDMI into the brain.
So yeah, depending on the device, I would certainly do it again
