I was disappointed with the following Oppo emails. I wish I could convince them to add a digital input so I could use the Oppo as a 2 channel DAC.
To Oppo:
I just read on a forum that OPPO was looking at adding a digital input onto the BDP-83SE.
I would love to see a digital input added to the unit! Is this something that is actually being considered? I am currently using my Cary 306/200 as a DAC on my main system and would love if the OPPO could do this!
Reply from Oppo:
We will never make a product which has external audio or video inputs. The type of programming required to make such a product work well is far to intensive for our current capabilities.
My reply to Oppo:
I was asking about a digital input? (The data would just be feed into the ESS DACs - very small circuit change.)
Reply from Oppo:
There will be no changes to the hardware to allow for digital audio input.
