Who are you quoting? There is no way I'd use the volume control on the Oppo remote as anything other than what Oppo states in their manual (and has stated the same from many models ago):
"The VOL +/- buttons on the player remote control are
provided as an alternative way of controlling the audio
volume. It is recommended that you use this control to make
the audio volume from the player the same as from other
sources, such as TV programs or a VCR."
Hardly a preamp! I'd leave it at max. Don't spend the bucks to get a decent analog stage, flexibility, USB DAC, etc...then send it through that $1.00 volume control. Argh!
