Connecting a SB Touch into Oppo BDP-95?

Been looking over the BDP-95 manual, and it seems there is no way to get a digital signal from the Touch and into the Sabre DAC in the 95. Am I right? Do you know of any modder able to add a digital input?

I have been thinking of getting an external DAC to connect my Rotel player as transport as well as my Touch, but I'm thinking the BDP95 has a good DAC with excellent mod potential, with SACD and Blu-Ray as icing on that cake. If I could connect the Touch to it I think the 95 would be it.

I have tried both USB and e-sata in the Oppo-95. I found the sound of e-sata more to my liking.

Yes, you can brouse the esata harddisk contents from the TV output.

But 2 issues might be of concerned:

1) You need to update to the latest firmware version. With the original firmware, it will take more that a minute to detect the esata drive.

2) Even with the latest firmware, there is data transmission issue with the estat driver. When playing 192/24 flac file, sometime it chockes and causes the music to stop momentary. Situation is much better with 192/24 wav file. There is no issue with 96/24 flac. The above problems do not exist with USB interface, but the sound quality is not up to par.
