is A19 sensitive to CD player as well or rather speakers? I am thinking about following combo A19 Oppo 103 - as CD, SACD player Focal Aria 926 Pioneer N50 as streamer what do you think?

and does it sound as a good combo? Arcam FMJ A19 Oppo 103EU Pioneer N50 Focal Aria 926? since Arcam is presented as sensitive for partering with other gadgets, how do you think this would work together?

I realized I am lost in analog and digital inputs and outputs (audio or video) Is there a list of what is what? Sure that some of them are clear to me like USB or HDMI are digital,, but I got completely lost when I reviewed Arcam A19. It has only audio inputs. OK, so? Will I be able to connect...

great! thanks. I will review that PS3 suggestion as well

shame, I am not ready to pay this one and AVR on top of it. I would probably go with that cheaper award winning Sony and will use my MR603 as amp.

Marantz. perfect experience with it. quite versatile. I love it. I got MCR 603

take it as my own experience and opinion. it really depends what you prefer. I have MCR 603 from your pre-selection I've heard Kef 300 and lowers - was not convinced. then I heard Cantons - various, B&W - various and I ended up with Klipsh 61. I enjoy them so so much. If I wouldn't be moving to...

bigboss, yep. changed opinion based on more research. the question I ask is, if I can make a big change and get rid of my lovely Maranz 603 and use Oppo as multifunctional device, pretty much as AVR..???

thanks for help, lads. just to stir it a little bit. back to an advice of Oppo. If I would have obtained OPPO BDP-103EU, with all the functionalities/options it has, may I dump my Maranz MR-603 and use Oppo as stereo receiver, CD/SACD playerBD player and media player comfortably? I understand...

thanks John, something one level down in price, please? SATA not mandatory, just nice to have

haven't seen many good reviews on Oppo and I would go with something cheaper. max 400 GBP actually, when I am thinking about it, it could be other way round. Blue Ray player with quality option to play media video formats

professorhat: media player for video formats, not audio formats data are stored on HDD - USB. if it has built in SATA the better, but that's not the condition

I don't seek for NAS. rather something as O'Play or Dune that can play many formats, supports various subtitles etc. Formats that I seek for ....the latest ones

He guys. I have a question or better a request for advice/help. I would like to get some recommendation for Mediaplayer with BD mechanic built in. Other options are quite out of question for following reasons i) too many devices for what I use BD for ii) I use BD very rarely and prefer...

Rob, jesus, thanks mate, but this wasn't even in english I believe :grin: . I am sorry. I am not that home in chnnels and downmixing. I am now using DVD player Pioneer (which will soon change for som BR) to input to Marantz (L+R) channel. no middle no sub. as you said, tV speakers together...
