OPPO 205 Ultra Blu-ray?

I have not purchased yet, since discovering my employer is closing the store where I work part-time. Now, I will need to re-appraise purchasing at this time. No doubt; however, I will purchase this unit, hopefully in the near future, as it is THE solution for multi-channel SACD.

Sorry to hear about your gig...been thru that.

I had not given multi-channel (above 2 ch) much thought actually but I do have a few Audio DVDs (mostly concerts) that probably are multi-channel audio.

I have it connected via HDMI and analog. With the UMC-200 I had 7ch analog connected; the MC700 only has stereo analog, which I am using. HDMI for movies because the pre's bass management is better, analog for music.

I saved a nice chunk of money on my Sanus audio over the Salamander model I was going to get. With that nearly $600 saved, I went ahead and ordered the 205...Fedex tracking indicates it should be here Fri.

I plan to play a few multi-channel audio discs so the 7.1 analog connection/hdmi for movies seems to be the way to go for me as well.
