Bass management is not your enemy, is really what I'm saying.
I totally agree with you. I want to be able to use bass management. It's just that to me it seems logical if the signal has already been converted to analog at the source (by a supposedly better DAC chip)you do not want to reconvert the signal to digital in order to apply bass management. Then convert again to analog to go out to the speakers. The less stuff you put in the way of the signal the better.
Contacted the Oppo people and the players does have 7.1 analog outs as well, so it also performs bass management. So if while using the dedicated stereo outs the sub out is also 'hot' then I think my dilemma is solved. Just waiting for a reply.
But I totally agree about bass management, especially with the M22's. They are really good in the mids, but if I turn my sub off there is definitely something lacking.
