RE: This or That

John, the 83 won't even output a digital signal through the coax while playing SACDs. The only way to get the 24/88 is with an HDMI de-embedder.
The Mytek can't receive DSD data from the Oppo. You need the handshake and that means buying the licensing from Sony. I don't think Mytek hax done that.

PS Audio is going into beta testing on their new transport, based on the Oppo, it will output pure DSD to their two Directstream dacs, using an HDMI cable, but outputting I2S.
I don't think there are any dacs that will receive the DSD that don't require their transport. For example DCS, can do it with their components.
I have heard that Mietner had a transport that would output DSD and Sony sued him.

There are very few options when playing SACDs. A one box player, some HT receivers, and very, very expensive separate components, of the same company. PS Audio uses a HDMI cable but not the usual HDMI signal.

The newest Mytek might be a good choice, as it does MQA, but for DSD the OP would better off buying DSD downloads, unless he has a lot of SACDs. Oh, you can hack your Oppo to rip ISO files from SACDs, but we can't with the 83 series, different chip.

I think tbe OP should work on getting the two channel sound he wants, then if he wants we can help get him into PC audio, using decent software. Roon or JRiver or???
