Connecting a SB Touch into Oppo BDP-95?


Been looking over the BDP-95 manual, and it seems there is no way to get a digital signal from the Touch and into the Sabre DAC in the 95. Am I right? Do you know of any modder able to add a digital input?

I have been thinking of getting an external DAC to connect my Rotel player as transport as well as my Touch, but I'm thinking the BDP95 has a good DAC with excellent mod potential, with SACD and Blu-Ray as icing on that cake. If I could connect the Touch to it I think the 95 would be it.

I havent actually tried this myself, but, how about using ethernet cable from Touch to Oppo?
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.
Sleepysurf,

Thank you for posting that! I was so wanting someone to say so!!! Having a switch on the back would be a minor issue for me.
It seems all DACs in the $2k price range would benefit from mods on the analog stage and clock, so starting with a good DAC chip and modding around it seems to make sense.

Anyone with informed opinions regarding Modwright's tube vs SS mods for the BDP-95? FWIW, I have a Lamm LL2 pre, McIntosh MC275 amp, and B&W 804S speakers (and a REL sub).
Lewinskih01, go for the MW tube mod. With the tube mod, you have the option to dial in the sound by tube rolling.

I have a MW Transporter and after some tube rolling, it's excellent. I had a MW Oppo BDP83 w/SS mod, didn't like it as much and sold it.

I'm contemplating in getting a MW Oppo BDP95 w/tube mod for non redbook. Dan is a good guy to deal with. Good Luck!
