Connecting a SB Touch into Oppo BDP-95?

Dan Wright (Modwright) is supposedly going to offer digital input mods. Per his website, he's currently offering it only for the Oppo BDP-83SE and Sony XA-5400ES, but I believe he posted on Audiocircle that he'll likewise offer it for the BDP-95 down the road. However, there will be a toggle switch mounted on the Oppo reap panel, so depending on exact location, that might make it difficult to access in a rack. The BDP-95's 32-bit Sabre DAC is incredible, so being able to feed digital from the Touch would be ideal. I've already tried DLNA streaming to the Oppo, which sounds superb, but the rudimentary software interface is abysmal. The Touch into the BDP-95 would be a killer combo.

I'm sorry to hear that Dan (Modwright) might NOT be offering the digital input option for the BDP-95, but not totally surprised. Given it's USB, eSATA, plus DLNA input options, the market for an S/PDIF input upgrade would probably be limited. Further, *IF* Oppo subsequently figures out a way to add DLNA Rendering capability (still a big question mark), it would obviate the need for S/PDIF altogether, as one could use J. River Media Center or dBPowerAmp Asset control for building playlists and controlling playback.

Of note, since installing the latest firmware beta, I've had few, if any, problems streaming 24/192 FLAC and WAV files via DLNA. It occasionally locks up on me, but probably self-induced, as I was scrolling through my NAS directory WHILE also streaming high-res tracks. Overall, I'm more and more impressed with the BDP-95 every day. After ~250 hrs of break-in, it's really sounding sweet!

I'm using DLNA streaming from a Netgear Readynas NV+ via Ethernet cable. Netgear has it's own proprietary DLNA software, but I'm also trying the dBPowerAmp Asset DLNA software as well. From the Oppo HOME menu (requires video display on to navigate), you select Network, then Server, and can then browse and select Standard or High Res tracks to stream. Right now, the Oppo can only "pull" files off the server, but I'm hoping Oppo will enable DLNA Rendering, in a future firmware update, which will allow files to be "pushed" via remote software.
