Sorry to ask this SACD question, but

What equipment do I need to play the Stereo layer on a  SACD at 176.4khz .  I have searched the forum for more than an hour and I'm stumped.  Lets say I have a https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022CD1000B/Yamaha-CD-S1000.html?search=sacd

Or a  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_033DCD1600/Denon-DCD-1600NE.html?search=sacd 


and I want to use a  Schitt Bifrost Multibit DAC,  https://www.schiit.com/products/bifrost instead of the internal DAC.  What else do I need?


What else do I need to play  SACD at 176.4khz 


Please don't flame me, I really am stumped.

uberwaltz,

So I'm just finishing my third cup and I have unplugged the Toslink and the Digital RCA from the Oppo and I am still happily listening to the stereo layer. I'm guessing something was stuck with the Optical hardware, but I'm not an expert.  The HDMI video is still plugged into a TV so I can see the menus, and the HDMI audio was never plugged in before last night, and is now unplugged once again.

One final question ( I hope),  So both you and my Oppo manual ( same thing ;) ) say to use the PCM setting, and it works. YEAH!  The question is so does the DSD setting.  I have turned the Oppo off and on with each and every change so I'm pretty sure it's not a fluke.

Maybe a 4th cup of coffee in called for?

Well not exactly. I did state which however what I wrote was, 

"Oppo as I want to compare the SACD hybrid layer on my 195."

so I missed that I hit the 9 instead of the 0, but, Oppo doesn't make a 195.

Shouldn't we all have been able to make that correction

This may be one of the more confusing threads in recent memory that actually had some meaning in the beginning.

"One final question ( I hope)…….The question is so does the DSD setting."
That is the statement, what is the question?

Is the original post still relevant? Were the answers satisfactory or we abandoned it, or we somehow tangled them with Oppo instructions?

Are we still welcome to try to help with answers or we are welcome to read about the progress with items we do not know what they are?

tweak1,

I assumed it was you hitting 9 instead of 0 by accident but I just wanted to make sure as Oppo did make 95 and 105 so, in theory, it could have been either.

EDIT: To make it sillier, as I was writing the above sentence, I wrote "9 instead of one".

A friend of mine has an Oppo, I believe it is 105 with Darbee something, player. It is great except that it freezes or crashes relatively often. Sometimes a few times a day. The disc does not eject, nothing works. You have to turn it off, even that becomes more than just quick press on the button, and wait and restart and then, most of the time, it works. Not always, though.

On the other hand, it may play for a month with no problem. Maybe it needs a few cups of coffee to work, too.

Maybe the glitch we have been reading about does have something to do with Oppo software.
More to discover
