And I am so impressed with the sound I don't actually have it in my HT system, just my 2 channel system. I'll be buying another Blu-ray player for the HT system.

The Oppo makes for a great transport for my tube DAC, but it sounds at it's best(somehow) when I connect my external hard drive or flash drive to it's USB port on the front or back and then send the feed back out to my DAC. The reason this surprises me is because, so far the Oppo doesn't play loss-less files. The best you can play from and external drive is 320 kbps.

  Well that sucks. I was hoping to play 96/24 files through it, but would've settled for 44/16.
  
  Wonder if this can be updated in firmware to support higher res in the future?

    Sounds very good in 320kbps though.

      • Surprisingly good. Respond well to quality interconnects too. - ppopp 20:31:20 05/27/09 (0)

        And it makes for a really good transport with my DAC.

      Great, glad to hear it.
      
      Could be my 1-box solution for the time being.
