Sorry to ask this SACD question, but

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.

glup,

further down not only did I state 105, but using XLRs which are only available on the 105/205 players...: 

"And since the 105 is currently my only source it auto selects SACD only, but via the analog outs, which in my case is XLRs"

Has your friend contacted Oppo to see whether they have an update that could solve his issues  

tweak1,

You are right, I missed that "105" written lower in the post but did catch "XLR". However, I am far from an Oppo expert (I think I have physically seen only one in my life) and actually have no idea which one has XLR and which one does not. My question about the model, as silly as it seems now when I realize you have written it in the same post as the erroneous one, was to ensure more structure in this "Oppo, SONY, Yamaha, Denon, digital, RCA, Schiit, analog, HDMI" salad. It was really not picking on you or ill-intentioned in any way. I promise.

My friend has not contacted Oppo, he just lives with it, but does have the latest firmware installed. Whatever that really means in practice. Now, when I think of it, I have a feeling that his player has been freezing more and more often. Maybe something is dying in there. These things do have their lifespan. Maybe his is nearing the end despite being very lightly used (I would guess less than a disc a day on average) and he bought it later in the model life cycle.
