CHASLS2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I wonder if going analog on my OPPO 83 would get me better audio vs HDMI? I have a great set of speakers but my Pioneer Elite SC61 has no analog inputs. I just wanted to know if it's worth the trouble for getting better audio from Bluray movies?

Fish Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I always hooked mine up both ways. I don't recall a big difference but like the option regardless. I don't think I would sweat it for a maybe small difference.On another note....no analog inputs is kinda odd, I could understand it on a low end but not on mid grade.

ivanhurd Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Only the most critical of listeners are going to be able to tell any difference. I wouldn't waste the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Analog leads to dealing with the LFE gain issue, which is always a pain. Plus you would bypass any room EQ if you use then. If you can do HDMI, then why do analog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 For movies I'd prefer to use HDMI. If the receiver/processor did not have HDMI then analog gets used. For SACD then I would opt for analog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I am pretty sure the DAC in the Elite is superior. Use an HDMI, and let the better DAC do the digital/analog conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
