Audio improvement for OPPO 205

I don’t own a 205, but I have a 105 and a 203, both of which are set to output DSD from SACD.  I didn’t even know that outputting PCM was an option, but there are some DACs that will only do DSD over PCM so perhaps that is the reason.  My DAC is a Bryston DAC 3 which accepts DSD over HDMI.  Most AV receivers do the same.  What DAC are you using?

Does your Ayon decode DSD?  Not all DACs do, so you want to check.  If it does, then yes, use the digital outputs of the Oppo, and in the settings, change SACD output to DSD.
