RE: Oppo Dac with hdmi input

Posted by pbarach on December 15, 2016 at 15:24:06:
I'm not sure I understand. The Oppo players (103, 105, 203) all output SACDs over HDMI, either as DSD or LPCM--your choice. If you have a DAC with an HDMI **input,** you just run a cable from the Oppo HDMI output to your DAC. Alternatively, all three of these Oppo models offer 7.1 analog outputs, so you can get an SACD out of the unit in analog and you won't need a separate DAC.

I have a 103. I think the analog output is fine. The 105 has higher-quality circuitry for processing digital-to-analog. The 203 has a 32 bit DAC, whereas the now-discontinued 10x models have a 24-bit DAC, if that makes any difference to you.
