NEW Discovery: Getting the Oppo DSD Output to a Dac. Getting the Oppo DSD Output to a Dac. I’m no longer using a Preamp. So it’s been a long time since I have been able to play my SACD’s. I really didn’t want to pay for new digital downloads after paying so much for the many SACD’s that I curren…

For me and my upgrade dollar, it was the fact that the Oppomods board was designed (yup you guessed it) specifically for the Oppo that won me over. Doesn’t hurt that hes a “little bit electonically qualified” (as they say) and a huge fan of Oppo players. Passing this on purely as Im enthusiatic a…

I dislike “warm” cables. to me these just sound dull and often seem to be lacking in both ambience and detail. For warmth and color, I roll tubes. My experience with both of the of the I2S boards is that these both sound relatively sonically neutral, exactly like my preferred (neutral sounding) SP…

I’ve found that there are basically two types of listeners, those that like “neutral” and the appealing sonic effects that typically go with it, including what you refer to as ambiance and detail, and those that start with the natural warmth of live acoustical instruments and go from there. There ar…

Hey tarnishedears, I am not sure how you figured out that R47 led to pin 15 but is there a way to figure out what we could desolder to decouple pin 18? Ted has said that it could be interfering with the voltage that the DS is applying already (or something like that) Thanks, Veneet

[image] Strange DS display blinking issue...when theres no power to the unit?! DACs Truly odd. Perhaps PS Audio has a clue. I have a little concern there is some type of small failure, such as the capacitors are not bleeding off properly (if they are designed to do so wi…

This happens with our boards now if you leave the oppo on and turn the DS DAC off from the back

I haven’t investigate this at all yet. Most of the traces did not have any isolating resistors feeding the output pins, from what I recall. I felt like I really lucked-out when I discovered that they had put a resistor in series with the exact pin that I needed to isolate before. If another serie…

No problem at all if you have some time to take a look that would be great. I tried to take a look, and honestly it is well beyond me, I may try to tape of pin 18 in the mean time and see if I can tell any difference. Thanks for the original fix, that was a huge improvement!

Got pin 18 covered and there is definitely a difference: clearer, richer, more balanced, less diffuse sound. Almost indistinguishable from my Boomslang coax, except for still a tad more airyness, although I still suspect that’s a function of cables, specifically the current I2S one being used from b…
