> I connected the Oppo stereo outputs to input 1 on the Blackhawk. This resulted, for SACD, in the Oppo sending 88khz analog to the amp.
There is no such thing as 88-kHz analog. You're thinking of 24/88 digital. However, you are now using an analog connection, which is exactly what I suggested you should try first before buying anything new.
If you don't want to buy this tube amplifier, why don't you try connecting the Oppo's stereo outputs to an auxiliary input on your Denon amplifier? Have you tried that yet? You might find that you don't need to buy anything new. A friend of mine had the exact same problem you are having and when he discarded his HDMI connection in favor of an analog connection, he became completely happy with the sound of his Oppo BDP-103D.
Try it! You might like it!
Good luck,

Yes, I think I'll try that. If the results are encouraging, I may also pick up an Oppo 105, which is supposed to have better analog output sound quality than the 83. Certainly a couple of cheaper experiments to try than buying high quality tube amps.
But, as Frihed89 points out, there is no "free lunch". The sound with the tube amp was just so good that I'll also keep looking into that as well.
this is a potential mismatch. Generally the output impedance of AV Receivers as preamps is on the high side (not good), and the single ended connection is not what the Krell is designed for anyway. To hear what the Krell can do, you have to use a better preamp setup, Krell and many other preamps for example can do AV passthrough so that the best input sources aren't watered down, and the power amps are properly driven.
