    p7 & c2

    Will the parasound p7 sound alot better than the parasound c2 processor for two channel analog and 5.1 analog with oppo 95 blu ray player.

    It will eliminate one AD and one DA conversion, so yes, the difference is night and day. You move from 3 lossy conversions to just one lossy conversion.

    Whether you can hear it or not is another issue... However, since you opted to pay the double for the 95 instead of getting the 93, then the logical choice is to go with a P7.

      I thought the C2 had 7.1 pure analogue bypass. so no DA- AD conversion

        That's right. It does have an analog bypass. Not so sure about the "pure" though. I think that's what the P7 is all about

            I would get the P7, unless you can get a C2 for less. Also note that the analog bypass only works with the balanced (XLR) on the C2, but if your amps have balanced connectors you're probably going to use that anyway...

              the C2 works with the 7.1 analogue inputs for bypass as well

                The C2 bypass only works with the balanced analogue (XLR/Cannon connectors). It does not work for the unbalanced analogue (RCA/Phono connectors). So if you wish to use the C2, you need to make sure your connections are all XLR, also on the amplifier side. No RCA plugs. It won't work.

                Also, I'm pretty sure the C2 bypass only passes through LEFT+RIGHT channels, not all channels. That's why the P7 is the better choice.

                  The C2 defiently has 7.1 Analogue bypass for RCA

                  hi, the C2 has analogue bypass on the following

                  XLR L & R
                  RCA 7.1 input

                  This is a fact.

                  thanks
