Is the Oppo 95 volume control for Analog signal still recommended at 80% or above for best results?

Haven't read the manual yet. Is the Oppo volume just for analog? I would think so. And I am also interested in the recommended setting.

You can use it at any level you want. Volume controls are now done through the DAC and not the SoC, so it is an analog trim rather than a digital one.

That said, all these disc are of excellent quality and I use each to highlight different areas in the system. BTW, the Getz/Gilberto SACD is the album I can't not listen to: the music just pours out of the speakers and I'm drawn in every time![]()
Here are the links to CD and Stereo SACDs

I'd be especially interested in hearing comments playing:
1. "Jeff Beck, Live At Ronnie Scott's"- pristine and explosive playing by Vinnie Colaiuta drummer supreme, and young bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, all projected very nice in this BD
2. Yellow Jackets, "Time Squared"- great material on this SACD

I will want to compare my 95 with my 83SE (upgrade by Oppo) before shipping the 83SE back to Oppo for repairs to the tray mechanism (?) which coincidentally after the last beta FW upgrade in August 2010 faltered, now balks and won't open for several attempts on first power-up of the day. Persistence works eventually to get it to open to receive a disc and after that the mechanism functions "consistently" until power-off.
Several months ago I resurrected my KEF 107s (with Kube) circa 1986, unpacked my Nakamichi PA-5 and CA-7, and started listening to 2ch CD/SACD (foregoing the Mch layer which I listen to using 7.1 Atlantic Technology 450THX system (including their subwoofer 325W) using a Yamaha AV DSP A1 (no HDMI) 110W. Set speakers using Cardas's formula for speaker placement. As my listening room is 22X13X8.4, the "sweet spot" is a nearfield listening position 74" equilaterally from each speaker (separated the same distance as well as from the front wall). Leaving out the other tweaks (cabling, etc.) for obvious reasons.
All things considered YMMV. For me, with what I have available at the moment, 2ch with 83SE has never been better with this configuration. 2ch is (was) preferred though I enjoy m.ch recordings (what's not to like?).
Storm?Hmm! Storm! Stay home! Set up BDP-95! Listen to 95 and compare with 83SE.![]()
Best,
