Incorporating Projector into 2 Channel
I just purchased a Epson 5030 projector and 120" screen. I'm two channel only. I occasionally have sound from my TV coming through my 2 channel via an optical cord from the TV to my DAC. I was told I would have to run the optical cable from my cable box to the DAC for sound when I receive the projector...is this correct or is there a better way?

I should have added I won't have the projector and screen until the 28th of June. Would the Wyred 4 sound Remedy or OPPO 105 improve the sound?

Firstly, yes it would work. S/PDIF output is stereo only even if the content is DD 5.1 or better. Most music DACs will not be able to decode a Dolby or DTS signal. Given you only have two speakers this should not be a problem. Though I am not sure how much value/improvement it would add in a down-mixed signal.
Using HDMI with a AVR or Processor set in 2.1 mode would more than likely provide better sound. What is the rest of your system?

A Bluray player? An Apple TV? A cable box? Most of these sources would have an optical or coax output. You could hook these up to your current DAC - you just need to set the source devices to convert the audio to PCM 2 channel. Most video sources might encode in Dolby Digital. My recommendation is to get a Bryston BDA-3 and use it as an HDMI switch/DAC since you are already a Bryston owner

But I've heard a large number of AKM449x based implementations - including one just using AKM's reference design to help designers get started. And they all sounded amazing. I've also heard a number of Sabre32 implementations. Including the Oppo. While you can tweak DACs with better capacitors, resistors and power supplies, there's a house sound to the DAC. IMHO the AKMs just sound better. They remind me of PS Audio's DirectStream. Not quite the same level - but on that same road. Plus the BDA3 allows you to use any BD player. Or HDMI source. If you are ever contemplating 4K, any investment you have in the Oppo will be obsolete. Whereas you can always get a dual HDMI output 4K BD player that can send video to a 4K projector (compliant with all the latest HDMI and HDCP standards) and have a second HDMI to the BDA3.
