I emailed Oppo at service@oppodigital.com and got a very helpful and courteous response from them on my ancient Oppo in one day, and it was on a Saturday no less! These guys should give lessons on how to do customer service to other current manufacturers.
Oppo DV-970HD digital out question
I’m using this as a transport in my headphone rig using the SPDIF out to my DAC. When I first hooked it up all was fine. Then I went into the setup menu and changed a few settings — Raw to PCM, 48kHz to 96kHz, turned HDMI output off, and I think that’s it. When I then went to play a CD I got no sound so fumbled around for awhile in the setup menu looking for something and couldn’t find anything there, so I started fooling with the remote and when I turned up the volume on the remote the sound came back. I was surprised the Oppo’s volume control was functioning through the SPDIF out since I never had to touch the volume on the remote before when using it as a transport in other systems, so I’m concerned I did something to enable the Oppo’s volume control, which I definitely don’t want involved if there’s a way to bypass it. Or, if I max out the Oppo’s volume control does that then bypass the volume control? Not sure if I’m missing something here, and thanks for any help/thoughts.

Thanks @yage That’s a good thought and although I thought I tried that I’ll give it another shot. |
