Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
I have bought several used Multi players over the last 10 years starting with a Yamaha, then a Denon. They both died after around 8-12 months. I then got an OPPO DV870. A little later I saw a N.O.S. OPPO BDP-95. I bought it and now can play Blu Ra... 
Add I2s to Oppo players?
Agreed its not recommended to go direct to the Denafrips from OPPO. One HDMI channel can be set to digital audio onlly, no video. I will message Alvin at Denafrips again for more clarification. He has been most helpful. Better than any other compa... 
Add I2s to Oppo players?
Denafrips told me not to do this, but I might try this, as I can do the same. Thanks, I had been thinking about trying this.  
Add I2s to Oppo players?
The OPPO has optical, co-ax, digital outputs. It has a USB input only. The HDMI will pass digital. I will keep this player until someone else makes a quality Blu Ray Audio/ Video, SACD, DVD=Audio, and for my large collection of cd's a buit in HDCD...

Add I2s to Oppo players?
I do not like the idea of using a box to convert the HDMI from the OPPO to I2s. And it does not lite the DSD on the Venus II. Denafrips says there is a problem with the conversion. I cant go HDMI straight from OPPO to Denafrips, I am told I may da...

Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I like my Loki Max. Sonic ally quiet with no hum or hiss. I like powered XLR and RCA outputs usable at the same time. The adjustments do bot allow crazy adjustments. Its been left on 24/7  with no ill effects.  
New R2R DAC
After 3 months of research, I bought the middle of the Denafrips line, The Venus II. I have been blown away with the detail I am now hearing. Incredible. I am able to use the I2s on the Venus with my OPPO BDP-95 players HDMI with a $45 adapter fro...
