bo1972,"When you have done thousands of test in over 20 years of time, you know what is possible and what is not."No doubt that there are patterns in everything. However, implying foolishness in someone who has actually done something, while you w...

bo1972,Your last few sentences..."You only can use the word High-End when...""People like to be fooled..."May be reconsidered after reading what you joined this thread with..."Everyone has the right to have his own opinion, even clearthink."

bo1972,"The photos show how little they all know. They have no idea what they do wrong, due to the fact that they never tested it."How do you know it is wrong? How do you know how it sounds based on the picture? The person who placed it on that pi... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
A friend of mine has an Oppo, I believe it is 105 with Darbee something, player. It is great except that it freezes or crashes relatively often. Sometimes a few times a day. The disc does not eject, nothing works. You have to turn it off, even tha... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
tweak1,I assumed it was you hitting 9 instead of 0 by accident but I just wanted to make sure as Oppo did make 95 and 105 so, in theory, it could have been either.EDIT: To make it sillier, as I was writing the above sentence, I wrote "9 instead of... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
This may be one of the more confusing threads in recent memory that actually had some meaning in the beginning."One final question ( I hope)…….The question is so does the DSD setting."That is the statement, what is the question?Is the original pos...

"The photos of all systems on Facebook and the internet show the same limitations over and over again."Can you give us an example or two, actually three would be the best for this thread, of audio limitations you see on the Facebook? That statem... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
tweak1,"...SACD hybrid layer on my 195."I assume it is 105 and not 95. (I make that 9 to 0 or vice versa error all the time). 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
Confusing, but excellent that you can, at least, use it for SACDs in the way they were designed to be listened to.Unfortunately, it does nothing for your wish to play it via an external DAC as you stated in the original post.We keep on adding play...

"No, I don’t want to come over and see how good your unmodified, untreated system sounds."Partybreaker, spoilsport, killjoy. 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
curiousjim,In essence, in your original post you seem not to be interested in playing SACD through an outboard DAC in its native DSD(ISO) form but converted to PCM. Is it because the Schiit DAC you mentioned cannot play DSD, but does play 176.4 PC... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
curiousjim,It has been a while so I got a bit confused.Your original post links to Yamaha and Denon, but we are trying to fix Oppo. It might have gotten added along the way as you already have it.We are all talking about analog RCA outputs playing... 
Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?
uberwaltz,If thoughts on one Italian website are anything to believe, it was Spider.

Back to irregular programming.uberwaltz,Do you happen to know which Alfa Romeo was Roger Taylor's? Maybe they tuned them all the same, but the song end always sounded like my friend's Junior. It was actually a guess from those times.Would "irregul... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
"According to the OP they cannot get any sound over the analog outputs, which is most peculiar."I am not sure about Oppo, but some machines disengage internal DAC when something is connected to a digital output.In this case, I would disconnect HDM...
