Hi-Rez Highway

So, have Tidal up and running through the AppleTV to Oppo BDP103---

136.37.101.134

but when I pause a music selection, and then restart it, the sound level JUMPS up. After a few moments, the music completely stops. I obviously screwed up in my setup: help, please!
I am running Oppo RCA out to my Mac1900.

What happens if you run the AppleTV HDMI straight into your TV and play the music through your TV speakers? I know this won't sound great, but what happens when pausing? Does the Volume still jump? Does the music completely stop after a few moments?

Basically, simplify the setup to see where the problem might be.

  He could connect the TV via HDMI and then run a coaxial S/PDIF cable from the Oppo directly to his DAC. That's how I connect my Oppo BDP-105D and it works great with superb sound quality.
  
  Good luck,

    That's per the manual. Something in the actual set up is most likely wrong, but I double checked the manual suggested wiring.
    My Oppo IS my DAC. Tks, John.

      I don't know why I didn't think of that. I've had my Oppo BDP-105D for a number of years and I've never liked the sound of its internal DAC. Consequently, I've been using an external DAC for as long as I can remember. I also have a couple of friends with Oppo digital players and they use external DACs, too. Presently, I'm using a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge as my external DAC. Before that I had an inexpensive FiiO K3 external DAC, and it even sounded better than the DAC in my Oppo. Anyway, I apologize for not even considering that probably most people use the internal DAC in their Oppo players.
      
      Sorry!

  - No manifestation at all through TV speakers. I looked again - tinear 11:41:57 09/05/20 (0)
    and double-checked setup per Oppo 103 manual, but it isn't the clearest.
