@auxinput Thank you. That is very helpful. Do you know if I can run a 4k source through the 105 to a 4k tv? Or would it be something like a down-convert into the 105 and then an upscale by the TV after?
Optimal Setup question Oppo/McIntosh
I'm attempting to get the most out of the equipment I have while making purchases that make the most impact. I currently have an MHT 100 running PSB image line home theater. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with it. I also use this room for music listening, both digital and with a turntable. The digital music is Tidal from a windows laptop=>PS Audio Nu Wave 2=>MHT 100. My Home Theater source setup is through a Plex server, the built in Plex app on a LG 4k tv and optical out from the TV directly into the McIntosh receiver. Beyond this, I listen to records in my office but do not have an external DAC in there for digital. My one complaint about using the MHT 100 is that it produces a loud unattractive clicking sound between songs and as I pause and restart movies. It's part of a protective process for the speakers that's built in. This only takes place when I'm using a digital input. With analog, I get no clicking. I'm considering purchasing either the Oppo BDP-105 or Oppo UDP-205 and I'm wondering if this will greatly improve my home theater experience. If I were to purchase either, I could move the PS Audio DAC to my office as the Oppo has a Stereo DAC built in. The most intriguing feature of either unit is the 8 channel analog out. SInce the MHT 100 has 8 channel in, I'm hoping to utilize this feature. The MHT100 is from 2001 so my assumption is that allowing the Oppo to handle the digital processing will be an improvement over the Mac, but then again it is a Mac. I'm learning as I go here and I'd appreciate any advice.
