I also keep all the firmware up-to-date on my stuff. I updated the OPPO-93 firmware before I used it for anything else.

The one other thing the Oppo's offer that I do not think anyone else does, is source direct. This is something important for folks who use external video processors.

One day soon, I'm going to go through all of the options built into this player and see what all it's got. A couple of things I've discovered is 1) Demo mode for video that splits the screen in half that allows you to see the effect of any tweaking that you do through the player. One side before changes, the other side, after changes, and 2) The ability to play either the SACD version or the CD version from hybrid SACD discs. This will let me easily hear any differences between the 2 by switching between the 2 options. This way I don't have to buy the CD version.

Now i've gone and ruined that relationship too. Mother always said, do what you're good at. You should talk to Chris (Lampy). He'll string someone along for years as long as there are continuing bargains to be had from them on stuff he wants. He's a master.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Got my first SACD today. It's Elton John's 2nd album, titled Elton John. Can't wait to listen to it tonight in CD, SACD stereo, and SACD multi-channel (on my 3.1 system) to see if there's any differences that I can detect.

Wait. So you've got multiple pairs of front speakers, but no surrounds?
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

There's a story behind it. Yeah. But mostly I couldn't find a place to put surrounds in this room until just recently. It was after I decided that they didn't HAVE to go behind or just to the sides of the listening position. They would go halfway between me and the front wall instead.
Waiting until I have $760 to order 2 QS8's in real wood finish, after much other work has been done around the house.
I like Wall.1 btw.
