Bluray Hi Rez audio

You at correct in about the oppo 93. I guess in looking to let the external dac do the decoding rather than using an onboard dac. The Ayre is a pretty fine dac. I don't think the 93's onboard could compete. It's drawbacks is I have 2 types of inputs either optical or usb. To play an sacd would I use the rca outs on the oppo?

I know,I three that out there as an after thought. I'm not sure what I want either lol. My dac is an Ayre Codex which only has optical and usb inputs. I would prefer to use it to decide dsd audio. I'm going to look into the oppo you mentioned. I have an.oppo 93 right now.

Thanks for your input.  I have a BlueSound streamer, I don't believe it'll rip sacd. I'll have to look into that

This is so confusing to me. I think I'm going will end up using a Mac computer with Audirvana and just download the sacd files. I play then play them via usb through the Codex. At least I know what I have and what I can do lol
