Sorry about that I messed up the last part:
Here is the entire statement:
Outputs: Oppo 105 4 volts vs 9 volts output Outlaw 990. This explains the gain difference as well as the added head room. This also explains why many feel you need a preamp in front of the 105. In theory 2 volt output can drive most amplifiers to full output. In reality this seldom works you lose base impact and dynamic range. To test this theory I put a 4 channel class A active crossover between the BDP-105 7.1 output(I use 5.1)and the 7.1 input (again I use 5.1 only)of the Outlaw input. (The active crossover will swing 14 volts). The surrounds are set to small in Outlaw. The activate crossover does 3 fronts and sub. In this setup when I use 7.1 with LPCM192 and play NETFLIX or VUDU the dynamics are restored and using the 105 as a preamp would work. It still will not fix the bitstream issue to the 990 but the gain and dynamics are back.
I got this idea from theta digital. All of their stand alone D/A converters swing massive output volts. THETA Digital explained years ago how this enhanced dynamics and headroom. I tried it. Whatever the reason it works.
I know audio advances I just don't see what the Dolby Digital Plus brings to Netflix. I would not classify their picture quality and sound as high end. I'm using 40 mps speed. Its ok but certainly not great.
What do you guys think?
