Neal, I also have a BSG QOL unit. That unit has 4 rca or xlr inputs along with 2 sets of outputs.So, when I say I am running the Direct Stream direct to my amp that's not exactly true. The Direct Stream first goes to the QOL and then to the Pass L...

A New Superstar Power Cord
In a couple of weeks I will be posting a review of a power cord that has trumped all others that I have tried and is less than $500. It goes beyond wire gauge, wire type, twisting, shielding etc. Truly amazing.

I now have over 200 hours on the Direct Stream. Right now I am going straight into my Qol and then into the Amp. Thus, bypassing my Preamp. I'm really likening it this way..

Yes, there are other units that can use the I2S via a HDMI cable. But, its too bad that one of the 2 HDMI inputs couldn't be just used as a regular HDMI input. So, I could use that input with my Oppo.
