 Wow, a Mini and a Vaio in the same home theater setup, pretty nice! Which Oppo do you have?

It is the 980H.  I bought it because it has the ability to send DSD without conversion to PCM (it gives you a choice) via HDMI.  The Vaio has had issues lately (it likes to shut down on its own), but I used it and its 200 DVD changer (connected via firewire and stored in a separate room) to batch rip CDs to the hard drive in WMA Lossless formats...which I later converted to FLAC and ALAC.  Thankfully, it finished this lengthy process  before it started misbehaving. 
 
I really need to do more troubleshooting, but I upgraded the RAM and and restored it from discs received from Sony and I still have issues.  I am guessing it is the hard drive, but with the Mac Mini hooked up, I have had less reason to dig much deeper.

^ I couldn't help but notice that you have a p90 behind your monitor. Do you fantasize about killing things while on the computer(s)?

^ The time to get monitors is on Black Friday, my good sir. Less than a month to go!

No thank you, I like my IPS very much.

 

[fenixdown110]

Yeah, it took me several months to pick out a decent IPS panel. I was stuck between this HP or the Dell U3011. It's expensive, but it's worth every penny.

I really dig my 30" Cinema Display, it's a shame they are not made any longer 

 

[jschristian44]

they don't sell 30's anymore?  probably because they cost an arm and a leg and people could get a 42" lcd tv for like half the price.
