I understand the Oppo has pre outs which can be used to drive a power amp. I have an integrated amp and previously used the RCA audio outputs on my Benchmark DAC1 to feed the amp a signal from the DAC. Can I do the same from the Oppo? Just send out from the DAC to my integrated amp?
Can anyone who owns this answer a function question about the Theater Bypass Mode? Does this function work for each output (ie one for xlr and one for rca?) or a toggle that is a blanket for all outputs?
Oh, and is it tough to access theater bypass in the menu?
Each input can be set independently of each other as Home Theater Bypass. Home Theater Bypass will be enabled for both outputs when engaged. It is very easy to engage. Just select the source you want to use in Home Theater Bypass using the jog dial. Press the SOURCE button until you see Home Theater Bypass appear on the front of the HA-1. Use the jog dial to select BYPASS then the SOURCE button again. At the next screen select CONFIRM with the jog dial then press the SOURCE button again.

Thank you for the incredibly fast response, Hastur!
I normally wouldn't ask, but looks like I won't be getting my HA-1 due to some sketchy issues with our former landlord. Guess I will be living vicariously through everyone here...
We will not be going anywhere, so the HA-1 will always be waiting for you. And if anything, we will have refurbished products you can buy from us in the future. We generally sell refurbished product 8 to 10 months after the initial release of the product, so check back next Spring for a discount.
You can use the player in Home Theater Bypass so the volume controls on the player are not active on the RCA/XLR outputs, and use the volume controls on the integrated amplifier.
Just settling in with my new HA-1 and Audeze LCD-XC cans. Quick question: should I do High Gain and keep the volume dial low, or Standard Gain and crank the volume? I would think High Gain, but the manual says the opposite!
