I read on this thread that the internal DAC is mid fi quality.
I would have no idea without being able to compare different devices.
That is what I am trying to do.
Thank goodness,
the latest Foundation has on screen display.
So I can see settings there.
Am very pleased you mentioned that I might not be able to use Sub in analog pre amp mode.
I will look into this.
I see that from HDMI is can go from stereo to plus Sub.
Since my new speakers have plenty off bass output,
might not need Sub at all for stereo mode.
My friend is coming over to work on some room acoustics issues.
I just heard from him,
he now wants to try using the Oppo as a pre amp.
That seems bit backwards to me.
But I would like to be able to hear it.
I really think,
the Foundation should be quite good sounding processor and works quite well for my AV system.
That is what I originally got it for.
But now with new set of speakers,
I want to get the most out of it for analog two channel audio.
Have been an audiophile for many years.
I will know pretty quickly is it is what I am looking for.
As long as I can do these comparisons.
Was encouraged to get an older Krell processor instead of the Foundation.
But really wanted to get the multiple HDM's.
numerous components that use only HDMI.
The older processors either did not have any HDMI's other than for a display or very few.
Adding a music sub to my older AE speakers made a huge improvement in SQ.
Replacing my Pioneer Elite to the Krell Combo,
Changed everything!
A real game changer.
By the Way,
Krell customer service has been absolutely wonderful to me.
Time to move forward and start enjoying the system.
Am going to patiently wait for my Audio friend to come over.
Thank you,
