| WASAPI vs. ASIO on Windows10? When playing DSD, WASAPI only supports DoP (DSD over PCM) whereas ASIO supports native DSD, allowing higher bitrates (DSD 2x, 4x). | |
| Using an ouboard DAC with SONY HAPZ1ES I've tried HAP-Z1ES USB into Oppo 205, Denafrips Terminator, & Marantz SA-10. There were some problems with Terminator which uses Amanero USB interface, so it was returned. I don't have any problems with both 205 and SA-10 which use XMOS USB... | |
| Marantz sa11 S2 - upgrade to outboard DAC? The SPDIF output for SA-11S2 only works for 44.1kHz 16-bit CD. No output when playing SACD.New stand-alone DACs support high res PCM and DSD. You will need another digital audio transport/renderer to make full use of a new stand-alone DAC.If you... | |

| Unable to load files to Sony HAP-Z1ES thru network I also have Sony HAP-Z1ES. I copy music files directly from Windows file manager without using the Sony Music Transfer program. Transfer using wireless is always slow, but transfer using wired connection is faster, up to 25 MB/s. | |

| Better SACD player than Oppo 205 @jafant @caphill I plan to share my experience in a separate post. | |
| Better SACD player than Oppo 205 IMHO, if your budget is limited to 1000 to 1500, stick with your Oppo 205 and wait until you have better budget. I have both Oppo 205 and Marantz SA-10, they are for different purposes. Oppo 205 for multi-channel, SA-10 for 2-channel. Oppo 205 XLR... | |
| Here comes the Oppo UDP-205 replacement.... Only 2 channel output using lower grade DAC, namely ES9026PRO. And a lot more expensive then Oppo 205 with a list price of £2,200. | |
