Yes, they have DAC's built-in with RCA multi-channel output connections. "Pre-HDMI" is a term for components designed without HDMI engineering.
The first artical I read on the OPPO 95 stated it only had HDMI multi-channel outputs. That's what got me looking for a pure wire, high-end HDMI to RCA adaptor to connect the 95 to my Pro for 32-bit stereo and multi-channel.
Fortunately, after reading OPPO's information directly, it actually shows both HDMI and standard RCA multi-channel connectors, plus balanced out L/R main outputs. Balanced stereo outs on a multi-disk SACD player is quite rare - I'm looking at the 95 to match my Pros' balanced analog L/R inputs.
Although the Proceeds DAC's are great, adding both Blu-Ray and 32-bit multi-channel DAC's along with balanced main L/R DAC's offers considerable promise that's hard to resist.
The sound quality of HDMI to RCA convertor's mentioned earlier is a significant concern. Now, knowing that the OPPO 95 has standard RCA outputs plus HDMI audio, it eliminates my need for a convertor. In summary, one of the OPPO 95s' HDMI outputs will go directly to my TV, and the balanced stereo and standard RCA multi-channel connectors can connect directly to my Pro.
