wyred 500st mk11 and rel sub r528

HI Al
The Oppo has dedicated RCA and XLR outputs for two channel play back via a 32bit Dac which I am using for my front mains and they go too my w4s amp. I have a 5 channel B&K amp for center and rear surround speakers. The Oppo also has outputs for FL,FR,SR,SL,RR.RL,SW for those people who only want the player for hometheater use. I got the w4s amp because it had balanced inputs and the B&K didn't. Rel said because I had the .1lfe connected that it would act as a ground for the sub and to not connect the Black wire on the speakeon wire only the Red and Yellow to the left and right positive leads on the w4s. I really want to keep the Rel in my set-up because my Sonus Faber Pianos need that extra boost in the mid area they just sound fuller. The manual also shows connecting the Rel via the Low-Level input, but I'm not clear on where to connect on the Oppo or if it is going to do the same as the speakeron.

I have been told by W4S that the pin location on the Balanced input is 1 Ground 2 Negative and 3 Hot. On the Oppo 2 and 3 are reversed but Oppo has in there set-up menu a way to invert that so they are the same, but I'm also not sure how it's grounded via the XLR input and that is the reason I got the W4S amp to use the XLR outputs from the Oppo. So if I understand what your saying is to connect the Black to the chassis on the W4S or use the XLR inputs and connect the Black to the Right or Left RCA input on the W4S.
