Confusion


My son is after me to buy the oppo BDP-95 so he can stream some lossless flac files and listen to SACD. I have an old spectral dma90 amp, 805 matrix speakers , and a spectral pre with a phono stage and a Merrill heirloom. Can we "hear' these files on a two channel system? Won't the sound just be down-converted? are high res and multichannel files the same? I need help before spending almost 1k on this for him
Thanks

I think perhaps both you and your son might be confused about this acquisition. Your son wants you to buy an Oppo? And do you actually want an Oppo? If so, then for starters I'd think the discussion could be about how he should consider buying the Oppo for you as a present and then you might graciously allow him to listen to it now and then. Just sayin'...
