Classe SSP 800's DAC vs Oppo 105's DAC
How does Krell S1200 compare to Denon AVP-A1HDCI preamp for Analog audio? Anyone has listened to both? 
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
How does Krell S1200 compare to Denon AVP-A1HDCI preamp for Analog audio? That's one beefy preamp.  
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
Since I intend to pass Analog Audio (only) from XLR/ RCA (stereo & 7.1) of Oppo BDP-105 to Parasound Halo A51 amp via a preamp:What you guys think of Parasound Halo C1, C2 or P7 preamp? I think they all have sufficient options for analog audio...

Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
@auxinxput: If I’m using S1200, I don’t need to use the Digital COAX. I can use the XLR/ RCA too, right? And wouldn’t that be better?Do you recommend S1200 over other Classe & Krell Multi-channels preamps? Do you know what type of capacitor wi... 
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
5 months & no replies? Anyways, I searched a lot for a decent multi-channel, audio-only preAmps. Apart from Classe (SSP-800, CT-SSP), Krell ( Foundation, S-1200, HTS) & a few McIntosh MX series, there are not many (desirable) options. Howe... 
Good Subwoofer recommendations
Thanks for all your suggestions. I ended up buying my friend's 10 years old SVS 20-39PC Plus. It's not as high-end & versatile as some of the models suggested here but it does the job fairly well at a fraction of the cost ($250). It's 40" tall...

@ Kr4: "I got that. What else do you want it to do?"I want to connect my Nakamichi Cassette Deck & want to enjoy a richer, warmer sound of Tube.@ Willemj: Ripping the cassettes to NAS is an option but I’m keen on spending that much time. Besid...

kr4I’m not sure what additional info I can provide. I need it for HT 5.1 setup with atleast 2 XLR i/p & preferably 5 XLR o/p.I got that. What else do you want it to do? Sorry, I think this is what you’re asking. :) I use primarily for HT (75%... 
Classe SSP 800's DAC vs Oppo 105's DAC
I’ve been on a fence for getting a used PreAmp for over 4-5 yrs now. However my budget is very low ~$2000, especially after reading about some of you guys’ setup & investment. My Setup: Oppo 105, Parasound Halo A51 amp, Tyler Acoustic Linbroo...

Kr4: You need to define your needs a little better. I'm not sure what additional info I can provide. I need it for HT 5.1 setup with atleast 2 XLR i/p & preferably 5 XLR o/p.Thank you! 
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
I want atleast 2 XLR i/p & preferably 5 XLR o/p if possible. I'm also open to used & refurbed. I've been doing a bit of research on various forums. How is Classe 600 or Anthem D2? I've also heard good things about Onkyo PR-SC5508/09, Herro... 
Best 5.1 McIntosh separates
Hey guys! I took all your advice & finally ended up buying Parasound Halo A51 from AudioGon for $2100. I also upgraded to Oppo BDP-105, which servers as a PrePro. After listening to various types of music (stereo, XLR) & movies (2 XLR + 3 ... 
Which Amp? Onkyo, Emotiva, Marantz, etc.
Hey guys! I finally bought Parasound Halo A 51 from AudioGon for $2100. Visually there are a few blemishes & it trips-off in Auto 12V setting. My first impression is that it's very heavy (95 lbs) & it gets really hot fast. Anyway, currentl...
