Oppo/something else as a Processor


Hello,

Recently my Parasound New Classic 7001 blew up, so I thought I would just hook up the 7.1 analogue outs from the Oppo 103D directly into the power amp, because I read that it can be used for this.

After a bit of subwoofer tweaking, much to my amazement the Oppo 103D actually sounded better in all aspects, than going through the Parasound.

As Oppo is discontinued, would anyone know if something other than 103D, or a different manufacturer offers the same feature? I inquire because eventually the Oppo will break, and I would like to have some thoughts as to what to do when that happens.

I may be interested in 4K or Atmos, in several years, but right now I am quite happy with what I have. My sound has arrived at a space which I no longer feel the need to pursue anything different.

thanks

I use a 105D as a processor, and like you I've looked for an alternative, mostly because I'm looking ahead to 4K and don't want to pay the current prices for a 205.  I've found nothing - there doesn't seem to be a contemporary equivalent.  Not sure what I'll do when the time comes.
