In Reply to: The reviews I've read indicate that the ESS Sabre32 Ref. DACs in the '95 are as good as money can buy... posted by jeffreybehr on February 16, 2012 at 13:47:20:
".............. the 2-channel outputs parallel 4 of the 8-channel chip's sections per single audio-output channel (per Gary Gallo writing in the January, 2012 issue of 'audioXpress')" and per all of Oppo's descriptive literature.However, what I was suggesting is to use the dedicated 2 channel output for both stereo and as the L/R when playing multichannel. That way, the main L/R speakers take advantage of the best DACs.
