Oppo 205 S/PDIF 96/24 question
noam:
My Oppo 205 does not output 96kHz/24-bit through the coaxial output - it down-samples it to 48/16.
My old Oppo 93 does output 96/24.
Is this by design? I tried every setting in the menu, it still won't output 96/24. It outputs 96/24 for the first split second of playback, then switches to 48/16.
My 93 is connected to the 205 via HDMI's. The 205 does output from the coax 96/24 it gets from the 93, but when I put the same 96/24 disc in the 205 it outputs only 48/16.

NOTE•Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 15.

Thank you.
That's really sad. After using the Oppo 205 in this configuration 205>monoblocks through XLR's>speakers for 3 years, I realized (measured) that the 205's DAC/preamp is a POS that doesn't output (Through XLR's) deep bass or more than 11kHz. I inserted the RME Signal Converter (ADI-2 DAC FS) between the Oppo and the monoblocks - so much better.
So the 205 isn't even useful as a transport.
Is there a blu-ray player that outputs 96/24 via S/PDIF?

Neither my BDP-80 or 93 will output the audio from SACD or DVD Audio thru the optical or coax outputs into a stereo amp. You have to use the analog outs on the players or an external DAC with analog outs. They'll pass high res audio from burned DVD's at 24/whatever but no commercial stuff.
I listen to all my SACD's, DVD Audio and Blu Ray audio on an OPPO BDP-93>HDMI out>Yamaha 5.1 receiver and burned DVD's with 24/48 or 24/96 files on an OPPO BDP-80>SPDIF out to integrated 2 channel amp at full resolution. Also play regular CD's on the BDP-80. No problems on either setup.
One Cylinder:
Are the SACDs you mentioned hybrid discs (they have both a SACD layer & a CD layer) or do they have just the SACD layer? I ask as I wasn't aware the signal from SACD could be carried over HDMI.
