Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: This or That

> I connected the Oppo stereo outputs to input 1 on the Blackhawk. This resulted, for SACD, in the Oppo sending 88khz analog to the amp.

There is no such thing as 88-kHz analog. You're thinking of 24/88 digital. However, you are now using an analog connection, which is exactly what I suggested you should try first before buying anything new.

If you don't want to buy this tube amplifier, why don't you try connecting the Oppo's stereo outputs to an auxiliary input on your Denon amplifier? Have you tried that yet? You might find that you don't need to buy anything new. A friend of mine had the exact same problem you are having and when he discarded his HDMI connection in favor of an analog connection, he became completely happy with the sound of his Oppo BDP-103D.

Try it! You might like it!

Good luck,
John Elison
