I suggest OP 3. use Oppo as processor and up to 7.1
connect direct from pre out of Oppo to power amps and use Oppo for volume control.
The Oppo 205 DAC is very very good

Yes Oppo is excellent in both video and audio, and that’s why I have enjoyed its analog output for years (my previous player was 105D).
Your suggested OP3 is like my current approach but using Oppo as volume control. The reason that I want to change it is to take advantage of my extra amp and speakers. I understand many folks stick to 7.1 but I want to try something new (to me).
