Non Oppo recc

Do any of the pannys do SACD? Without the ability to do SACD, I'd say analog audio outputs are redundant since modern receivers handle all DD/DTS formats via the HDMI signal.

just got off the phone with Panasonic and none of their current Blu-ray players support SACD, so it looks like Sony is the winner, especially at that price.

Just got approval from the wife to get a new 103 Oppo !!! So that's the route I'm going before she changes her mind.

BTW, there is a used 80 on Amazon for $330.

Question: for best sound when playing my SACDs and regular CDs, should I have a connection in addition to HDMI ?

I have both HDMI & analog connections from my 105 going to my Yamaha AVR. I prefer the analog for music.

How will I insure that the audio goes through the analog connections when I insert a CD, or play a FLAC file?

just make sure that you connect the analog connectors to an unused input that doesn't conflict with the HDMI assignment.
