Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall
You ARC people crack me up. I get it and I respect you but damn. ARC has to be the most prolific model developer ever. They certainly know how to maintain their customers interest. 
Amp with best bass control
Damn Wolf you're an old war horse. Did you ever build your own plywood cabinets in the early sixties? I had great success with a pair of D-140E 15" JBL Scoops powered by a Marantz 8B right up until the 360 came out. You still playing?My Bass cabin...

Kriskdf, I apologize if I missed this in your post. You're outputting I2S/HDMI out of your Oppo to your DAC? What is your DAC and does it have an I2s/HDMI input?If you're using any USB cables what are they?
