Re: [SurroundSound] Re: OPPO 103 or new HTPC / Upgrades?

That brings me to why the 105 despite the gouging of features is a still a great deal.  You get a seriously well engineered piece of kit with a gorgeous DAC (a multichannel and DSD one at that) as well as HDMI inputs (?!?!?!?---there are barely HDMI DACs out there).   And it's still around a grand.  I'd say that's a game changer.  If they add DOP (which is rumored to be happening) there isn't anything you can't get a gain from--audio or video.

A bad assumption on my part though a lot of folks (as mc DACs not in an AVR or 'Player' are still rare) will do an HT bypass kind of thing with an AVR feeding the C and rears and the DAC handling the towers.  There are SPDIF breakout boards and there are ways to say hook up 3 Myteks together.  Way out of my league.  I'll have to settle what's in Oppo's or AVRs till the MC ones get much much cheaper.  That said, most of my music is still in 2 channels...

That Xonar Essence One is an actual DAC and looks like a beautiful outboard device for a computer and does 176 as well.  Didn't  know that they were making actual DACs.  Dunno how it sounds (for 600 u can get guaranteed audiophile solutions) still impressive.  Thanks for pointing out.

I just looked that up and it's nice but it's stereo which doesn't help in a group discussing surround sound.  Is there a 6-channel version?  Could you hook up 3 of these to a PC and direct the 6 channels of audio to all of them in sync?
