Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Darrylhifi's comment "Because God gave us two ears. If he gave us 5 , then multichannel would be better" is:1. Unoriginal2. Indicative of ignorance of basic hearing mechanisms3. A red herring of no significance and intended only to annoy.Pick one.Kal

SACD via HDMI on Oppo BDP95?

SACD via HDMI on Oppo BDP95?
Actually, you do not have to set the player for PCM. It will do so automatically when connected to a processor that cannot accept DSD. 
SACD via HDMI on Oppo BDP95?
I am afraid that, although the Oppo 95 can output DSD if the processor can accept it, neither the Classe nor the Krell are able to do this, afaik. I am certain for the Classe and believe so for the S1200 (since the 707 could not).Kal 
Why Not Return the Favor?

Get it out of the corner and, if possible, bypass the LP filter on the BX63A.Kal 
Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200
You don't really expect a definitive answer to that question, do you?Kal 
Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200
Depends on your question, of course, but I have no knowledge of the Krell. The current Classe and the Krell 707 will not downsample PCM, afaik, but they will not accept DSD. I do not know about the 1900.

To set the record straight, the Oppo 95 has 7.1 analog outputs (not just 5.1) and, in addition, it has 2 sets of stereo outputs (RCA and XLR).Kal 
Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics
Try the Pro 10MC pre with the DNA-1 and see if it is the preamp.

The Integras are good machines and each was pretty much at the cutting edge for its time. There was a big change in the analog portions for the 80.1/2 but, for digital, all are performers. Just choose your feature set. 
Choices for multi ch digital transport-Oppo best?
