Yes. I am expecting one by the end of the week.
Looking forward to a critically analytical performance and capabilities review from the knowledgeable folks here on this forum!
So, I hope my question is not entirely unrelated to this thread,,,
I am a beginner when it comes to understanding and/or navigating most current digital formats.
I have a few reasonably decent vintage CD players, and an iPhone - that's it.
The rest is analog, both four channel & stereo tape of several sizes, speeds and types, and stereo vinyl.
Looking for a big upgrade in playing back various higher quality physical discs, SACD, Blu-Ray, DVD-audio, etc., but I really want to get both stereo and 4.0 quad high resolution material to play back.
On the back of the UDP-205 I see that the outputs for the audio section are stereo, the interconnect points provided are limited to just two RCAs & two balanced XLRs.
So here's my question:
I understand that the unit's DACs are truly exceptional for music, but does that mean we can ONLY get that higher quality from TWO CH disc sources???
If I have any hi-res multichannel discs to play back, will the superb high quality circuitry in the OPPO UDP-205 be bypassed?
Fwiw, I don't have a TV, and may not be getting one, it's primarily music (audio) that interests me.
