| Which OPPO? Thanks Nonoise - should have thought of that myself - it's weird though because the system streams just fine through the apple tv....hard when you can't quite get to the back of things without dragging components out of cabinet - i swear next time... | |

| Classe' CAP-151,are there reliability issues? I recall having a minor issue when it was first new, sent it back via dealer to Canada and did not have any other issues. Had it for about 12 years, just replaced it with an Ayre AX7e integrated a few months ago. | |
