Denafrips Ares DAC has arrived... need help with Oppo connectivity


Gents,
I got the Denafrips DAC today and connected it to my Oppo 103 via coax and USB and get no signal.  I suspect there is some programming necessary to connect to the DAC.   Can anyone guide me through the Oppo programming necessary.  I don't know how to get to the Menu set up screen since I used my Oppo exclusively for audio.  Any help will be appreciated.

Interesting you heard no difference. I've never heard two dac's that sound exactly the same. I've tried a few, including the Ares. I would suspect something is amiss in your setup, or  a shortcoming somewhere in your system that doesn't reveal the difference.

Agree with david_ten, try another source. Perhaps the Oppo blocks the external dac from use somehow (says the guy with no real knowledge of how this stuff works). Or the use of USB creates a problem (ditto).
