Which BluRay Player with Outlaw 990 Preamp?

[ClosetSciFiGeek]

Just bought an Outlaw 990 Preamp. It does NOT decode the two latest codecs. I am going to use the 7.1 Analog Ouputs on a BluRay player. Which player would be best for this. My current player only has 5.1 outputs.

Oppo BD-83 or BD 80. They are on my (very) short list for my next player for exactly that reason.

Since you will use the analog outputs I suggest the Oppo BDP-83SE over the BDP-83.

I have a Pioneer BDP-320, which has 7.1 analog outputs that produce better sound than the NON SPECIAL EDITION Oppo BD83, and it costs less than half as much. The analog's have a variable crossover point and distance settings for all of the speakers and the sub.

Pic quality is excellent, too. The only negative is that loading times are longer than the Oppo.

P.S. Pioneer's recently released BDP-330 does NOT have 7.1 analog outputs.

Excellent post. Thanks for the info. I will look at the Pioneer as well.
