Looking to replace EAD DSP-7000MKIII

Oppo BDP-105 audio input question.
Toslink and Coaxial inputs will allow multi-channel, or stereo sound. The USB will only provide stereo sound.

Opinion's on Showcase vs. TGIII vs MC-8
As for universal SACD/DVD-A players. I have not yet purchased one since I don't have a pre/pro that has 5.1 or more analog thru-put. However, when I had the TGIII in my home, I hooked up my Sony 555ES (from my 2-ch system) into the Sunfire. Sounde...
