Keep audio and video seprate.. honestly you want stellar video Oppo is your machine, and by the way thru the DVD concert discs the Oppo sounds excellent, but it is just a transport for that so its a good DVD transport when going thru a good surround processor/receiver etc...
2 Channel audio forget about it if you want to get serious... The oppo is very thin and easy to place in a system in most cases even if you are forced to stack it with a good 2 channel transport.. You will always be better off with two dedicated machines in my opinion, especially value for the money, at 199 that is more than enough for excellent picture and the downfall of a top class transport.. put all your money into a better transport for redbook audio if you want a more musical analog sounding digital source.
