New Oppo player for late 2012

I noticed that Nelson Pass was using the Oppo as a source/pre to run his room full of First Watt gear at burning amp today in sf.

If Pass signs off on it thats good enough for me.

Regardless of the rationale behind the apparent nod to Oppo, be it for quality, flexibilty and/or price, a welcome confirmation of value.

More importantly, did he provide information on that most intriguing single driver, open baffle speaker rig?

Now THAT looks intriguing!

The speakers are actually a dual driver setup. There is a large 10" or so woofer in the base of those towers firing downwards towards the ground that you can't see from the front. Pass had a Firstwatt SIT-2 running the upper drivers and a Firstwatt F6 running the lower woofers obviously fed from the Oppo. I wish I had asked him about the rig. He also had a scope setup to show that the amps were operating at less than one watt.

In any case, like I said before, if its good enough for Nelson its good enough for me.
