Question about bypassing Oppo dac
Hello all
I want to bypass the DAC in my Oppo 203 bdp, But the sources I have consulted indicate that the only way to do that is with either a coaxial or an HDMI connection. However, I have been told that the SACD format requires analog connections to function fully SACD quality. I am using Buchardt Powered speakers, which have their own DAC built-in, And a Primare sc15 Music streamer. I would appreciate any input and help anybody could provide.
Thank you all so far. Here is some additional information that I didn't think of before The opo203 Has a DAC The primare Streamer has a DAC The powered speakers also have a DAC
Which component has the DAC which is determining the sound I get out of my speakers?
Sorry if this question is incredibly ignorant |
Note: I ended up ripping all my SACDs to .dsf files (DSD) and feeding them as files through my streamer. I also have a McIntosh MCT500 SACD player that will feed my McIntosh DAC, but, I still prefer the convenience of using the streamer to pick any DSD (.dsf) song I want as a file. To do this, you need an older Sony Blu-ray player like a Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Player that you can pickup on Ebay for under $50. This is what I use. Then, you put a few commands on a USB drive, plug the USB drive in the back of the Blu-ray player, load the SACD, and it will automatically rip DSD to the usb disk as a .dsf file. If you are interested, search the internet for the details for the commands, and the Sony machines that will work.

@yyzsantabarbara , I have an Oppo 105D that’s in the closet and currently run an Original Schiit Yiggy. If I get the Oppo out and purchase the DBOB, is there a protocol issue with PCM over DSD ? BTW the adult toy that you have ( I have no idea what it’s called) is amazing and I’d love to see a video of it in action. Much Respect, Mike B. |
@buellrider97 you are out of luck with the Yggi. It does not support DSD. Do not believe ChatGPT on this, it says it will work. I tried it with a couple of Yggi+’s and failed miserably. I tried 2 OPPO units with the Yggi and none worked. I spoke on head-fi with Schiit on this. I emailed the designer of the D.BOB and they are 100% certain the Yggi’s will not work work with the D.BOB. These DACs that I tried work easily with the D.BOB, RME, Benchmark, and Meitner MA3i. ***************************************** The adult toy is actually my son’s marble run. We had it custom made 4+ years ago when he was 5 years old. The room that the marble run resides is/was his playroom and I happened to sneak in a stereo system into. Today, we removed most of the toys and just have the marble run left. There is only 1 marble run like my son’s, and this is it. #300 Child’s Play - 48" high X 36" wide X 16" deep - ROLLING BALL SCULPTURE

@yyzsantabarbara , THANK YOU for that info , I have 2 Schiit DAC’s and would definitely be disappointed. The marble run is BOMB ! Thanks to the Op my apologies for the intrusion. |
