Well, I just switched back to my X1 preamp. I had been using the Oppo connected directly to my Parasound amp for the past three weeks. Surprisingly, I heard a noticeable difference in sound quality when I switched back. The bass became more pronounced and the sound quality in general became more full bodied through the X1 preamp. It didn't seem like there was much of a difference when I removed the X1, but it sounds a good bit better with the X1 back in the system.
When you decided the Oppo sounded better without a preamp in-between, were you using the X1 or some other preamp? I certainly prefer the sound quality with my X1 in the system and the volume set to "fixed" on the Oppo.
