Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
uberwaltz,I might just look around for a used SACD player to make the test.And uberwaltz, if I haven't said it before,  Thank you for taking some of your time to help me with this. I have been puzzling over it for months, but now I might have a le... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
electro69,I don’t think Sony has anything to do with this.  I’m sure Oppo paid and installed what ever they had to in order to play SACDs. I’m thinking that my issue is with the Oppo, but for mechanical issues.I’ll be sure to let you know.JD 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
glupson,The Oppo has an HDMI audio output and a HDMI Video output.The audio has never been plugged in.Logically, what you are saying makes sense. But it still is working in this case. As I just said to uberwaltz, I am getting the feeling that the ... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
 uberwaltz,I did everything my manual said. I did everything you said, and the Tv screens says yes, but the speakers say no.  The CD layer plays just fine. I added a digital rca, CD. I added aToslink, CD. RCA only, nothing.  You just said that the... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
uberwaltz,There is a menu setting on the Oppo for SACD.  It shows it on but it will only play through the HDMI output.  There is dead silence when I use ANY other output.  Most of the problem ( So I'm told )  seems to be that RCA and Optical cable... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
mahler123,The Bryston DAC-3 looks like just what the Doctor ordered. It is on my list in all caps!Thanks again for the tip.JD 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
folkfreak,When I set my Oppo to SACD and use Digital RCA, Optical or the analog RCA outputs all I get is silence.  With my Oppo, I have to use the HDMI to hear SACD whether its stereo or 5.1.JD 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
Hey uberwaltz,I believe all the Oppo's will play SACD's from the HDMI output.  I have a 93 that will.But I want to play the SACD stereo layer without going the HTMI route and am confused why I can't.  RCA and Optical can't handle the amount of inf... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
So folkfreak,Why do so many companies have players labeled SACD if they can't play SACD?  Isn't that more than kinda illegal??  My Oppo plays them through HDMI, but I want to play just the stereo layer through my main system, not my HT.JD 
Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?
rockrider,did they make you pay return shipping after your fifteen days?All the best.JD 
Tubes or stick with S/S
mfdamon,I’m  mostly a tube guy. I’ve tried SS separates and intergraded and I always go back to at least output tubes on both my preamp and amp.All the best.JD

wolf_garcia,”Hey Man”Thanks for putting a smile on my face.  I needed it tonight.JD 
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
Mostly little stuff. A couple pair of AudioQuest ic’s. A Toslink cable.  I bought a Pro-ject S2 Digital DAC( just got it today, so I can’t say anything yet.)I think that’s about it. I am looking for an  OPPO 105D-205D or the equivalent.  Hope to m... 
Inherited amp
Don’t think this was a kit. Kinda looks like a home project.  Very good workmanship!  Hope you find the builder.JD 
Who uses power conditioning?
+1 for Audience AR6.keeps things nice and quiet.JD
