New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: I have no intention of sinking $2500 into mods....

Hi John,

Just in case you missed something, this is a quick list of the adjustments I made to my player to get it 2CH stereo ready;

Pure Audio Mode always in use
Audio Play Mode always off
Auto Resume always off
Coaxial/Optical Output set to 192k LPCM
HDCD Decoding on
SACD set to DSD
Secondary Audio Off
HDMI Audio Off
Dynamic Range Control Off
DTS Neo:6 Mode Off
Output Volume set to Fixed
Stereo Signal set to Down-mix Stereo
Standby Mode set to Quick Start
Front Panel Brightness Off


If others have more adjustments please speak up or if you think I've made any errors please reply. Also remember this is optimized for a 2 channel single ended stereo system with the use of a preamp and no video concerns. I would imagine the use of balanced outputs would sound even better in some systems. Even more so a direct input to an amp would be more pure and was stated so in a few reviews I read, but both reviews warned the impedance match was important to note if you go direct. To which I have yet to try, as I like what the tubes in my preamp do. ;)

John, I hope this helps...but if not, it sounds like you are already very happy with your current digital set up. It just goes to show us, a perfect fit for all is not always the case and in the example of the Oppo 105 the home trial return policy is a nice option to have.

Regards,
Bill
