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.

Sleepysurf,

Thank you for posting that! I was so wanting someone to say so!!! Having a switch on the back would be a minor issue for me.
It seems all DACs in the $2k price range would benefit from mods on the analog stage and clock, so starting with a good DAC chip and modding around it seems to make sense.

Anyone with informed opinions regarding Modwright's tube vs SS mods for the BDP-95? FWIW, I have a Lamm LL2 pre, McIntosh MC275 amp, and B&W 804S speakers (and a REL sub).

OK, contacted Modwright and Dan said he "doubts" he will offer the digital input option. He said performing that mod to the XA5400ES has proven very difficult and costly.

So seems Touch and BDP-95 won't go hand in hand. Anybody using the USB or eSATA into the Oppo 95? Wondering what people are using to browse through the music in the external hard drive.

Rwwear: I did read it, but don't see where they explain this. Maybe it's this, which I cannot comprehend: "although it unofficially provides DNLA Server-like Experimental Functions”. Looking at the Oppo manual the user interface didn't seem friendly or practical at all. Hence my question.

Dchan88: what do you use to browse over your music collection with the 95 and external HDD?

Sleepysurf,

I'm intrigued by how you are streaming 24/192 FLAC to the BDP-95. Please tell me more. I'm starting with computer music, so bare with me (I just use a PC and a SB Touch).

Do you have a hard drive with 24/192 FLAC files attached to the BDP-95 through the USB or eSATA? When you say "streaming" do you mean the files are being sent to the BDP-95, or are you telling the BDP-95 to access the hard drive and retrieve the file? If the former, what software are you using? If the latter, do you browse using the TV as screen?
