Oppo Blu-Ray DSD Direct mode

Kr4,
I realize its not optimal over a good preamp etc… I was actually just curious for possibly a cheap solution to a less critical application as a remote control volume for a headphone amp more than anything, and really was more interested in it having the control of volume from the digital output standpoint to a DAC /headamp.. Not a big deal, Thanks for the answer.

It has a volume control for the analog outputs but it is a far from ideal arrangement. External VC is better.

I have question on this Oppo unit, I have owned the older versions however I am not finding any info whether this unit has a built in Volume control or not? All the older units did I know so I assume it does.

However second part of the question is can this volume actually control the digital outputs or is it for the analog outputs only?

Thanks

Sure. But which D/A is better?

In addition, can the Oppo output DSD with appropriate channel/bass management or does it convert to PCM to do this?

Finally, is the channel/bass management more capable/preferable in the Oppo? (IMHO, generally not.)
