Oppo UDP 205 7:1 analog outs

[Descartes]

How so? What is a "large speaker" In bass management language all that means is using a crossover between mains/sub.

Unless you are listening to organ music a speaker that reaches 30 Hz is great without a sub!

But who has a 5.1 system that has full range speakers ....

Luckily...me! This setup sounds fantastic with those new Rhino Quadio releases--and I don't have to worry about the subwoofer clip to boot. Everyone should check out the classic albums coming out in that format all this year.... Meticulously remastered of course.

These speaker sets are closing on a 25 years old... and I will have them both till the cones disintegrate because they sound so good. Definitely take advantage of the 205s enhanced analog outputs. That's the only way you get the much-superior Sabre Pro DAC implementation rather than the mid- range AKM in the 203.

I have a Marantz SR6014, and an OPPO 205, and want to use my analog ins/outs with these devices on surround material (including Quadios) which doesn't have dedicated .1 info. Do I just forfeit anything below 60 hz?

I have the speaker sizes on my 205 all set to "large" with "sub" set to "on." The 5.1 analog output from the 205 is then fed to an Outlaw ICBM (all-analog bass manager) where my speakers are treated as if they were small, due to me setting the low pass frequency for all my speakers to 80 Hz there. So, in the end, I have > 80 Hz going to my speakers, along with < 80 Hz going to my subs (along with the LFE channel). The analog output from the ICBM is then fed to a multichannel analog preamp and then to a multichannel amp. Everything is still analog with this setup.

i wish to apologise for earlier misinformation


i recall Bob Parisaeu saying whenever you do an oppo firmware upgrade ALWAYS do a factory reset after in order for the firmware to take effect

so i did that and now the oppo 205 no longer clips the RCA subwoofer out when you use the excellent multi-channel analog outs

obviously Oppo fixed this in one of their last firmware updates

Bob Pariseau is a loon.

Really! I found him extremely useful in managing my Oppo 205 and I still use it. Bob knew this machine inside out and was involved in its development. I still refer to his posts and others on AVS Forum's

Agree that Bob is the 1 to refer to if going to use the Oppo UDP 205 multi channels analog output for a 7.1 system or regarding other matter on Oppo players.
Been following his avsforum post since the BDP 105 days n after that the UDP 205 for setting up my 7.1 system with phantom center, everything works out great.

I'm just remembering many of his posts in general. Not that hard to figure out an Oppo player otoh.

Optimising settings in a layered menu took me three months to get right. Bob certainly had a good handle on it. This is around running a 2k projector then a 4k. Anyway I also used reviewers of the 205 for settings.

Wow, can't imagine it being that difficult to even need someone else to comment.
