| Oppo analog question 1. No, you cannot switch in the Oppo since all the outputs are simultaneously active. OTOH, you can switch between the inputs in the Denon.2. Why are you so intent on using the analog output from the Oppo? IMHO, the only reason for doing this is i... | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? 1. 8' trees are not typical house plants.2. Putting anything behind dipole speakers will affect the sound, much as it would if put in front of a monopole speaker.So, I have no argument with your observations but they are not universal or typical.Kal |
