But that means you're using the HKs DAC. The OPPO would have a far superior DAC. Since the HK has no multi-channel analog inputs (per knucklehead) no choice there, other than when listening to music in 2-ch (which is where the higher quality DACs of the Oppo would make a difference anyway). I would use both digital coax and analog stereo outputs of the Oppo going into the corresponding HK inputs. The first for 5.1 movies, the second for 2-ch music (assuming Boom is interested in using this system for music). Two-channel goes from the Oppo's balanced XLR outs to the XPA-2 (unless Nick gives me back my McIntosh preamp...).

I wouldn't disagree - but if I send the analog outputs of the Oppo to the HK, I think that the HK re-digitizes the signal to do bass management. If so, then passing the digits through two successive DACs (the Oppo's and then the HK's) is worse than converting only once. Yes? I wish I knew the answer... I am not familiar with that particular HK.
