I am running my Oppo BDP-83 to my Onkyo 805 receiver (using it as a pre/pro) using the supplied HDMI cable. My Onkyo has Burr Brown DAC's. I don't know which is better between Cirrus Logic and Burr Brown. If running the audio out through the analog section of the Oppo 83 SE to high end equipment is the purpose of the Special Edition model, then what's the purpose of paying high dollar for the high end processor your connecting too if the Oppo is doing all the video work and digital to analog converting?
