Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback

Thanks for the feedback, I"ll be pulling things apart to insert some new equipement and will check all the connections.

Perhaps something get messed up when I was making some previous change.

Thanks again everyone, did more listening with a variety of CDs and am now convinced that CD's do indeed play fine and the issue is with streaming from Tidal.  I think the first CD I grabbed after finding the streaming issue  was something less than pristine and after having experienced the streaming issues I was just looking for issues.  But after further listening with different CDs I think CDs are fine.

I swapped the ethernet cable between the router and Oppo with no change.

The good news is I've got a Lumin D2 arriving mid week and assuming it works then my streaming problems are solved and I'll just put this to bed.

Will update if I find anything else, but with the arrival of the Lumin imminent and the CDs playing fine this is a back burner issue unless I experience issues with the Lumin.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi designfx,

My 103-D only has single ended outputs so that's not an option for me.

I have played with the Oppo volume vs the preamp volume and didn't see any difference.

I also ran a speedtest on my internet connection and that seems fine.

And someone else suggested rebooting and I did unplug the unit for maybe 20 seconds and then tried again, but no change with any of these attempted fixes.

Thanks designfx, I'll check it out.

The CD playback was acting up big time, so I think it's time to retire the unit

I hear you, but I was using the Oppo like a preamp as well to create a crude 5.1 setup and of course I've got some DVD's that I like to play occasionally.

It's always something....  :-)
