oppo-970HD digital out

Submitted by hoedel on

I'm confused. Wes Phillips review of the Oppo970 HD said that he was able to get a 96kHz output from the coaxial digital out of the player for SACD and DVD-A play back. Oppo's website stresses that there is NO digital out from the coaxial or optical outputs when these formats are playing because of copy protection ptotocols. So What's up? How does he do this? Did he get a special unit with the copy protection dissabled. Could any one clear this up for me? I would love to feed my DAC a 96kHz SACD signal.

John,

A curiosity question.

I received my copy a day or so ago and seriously listened to it last night. The sound is spectacular and the performances intriguing. I am very pleased a bought it. You did a wonderful job!

Given that you recorded most of the instruments in a "classical way", including using Metric Halo gear, I was surprised that you used DI for the bass. The bass sound is great and it lays well in the mix so I am not in any way criticizing - but why not record the bass amp as you did the guitar?

To tell the truth, I didn't want to come into the office today. Amazing, I know. And it didn't have all to do with the rain and the wind and the unusually cool June air, though those were factors. Mostly, it had to do with <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/010207everything/">a hummingbird</a>. I wanted to stay home and strum the guitar in tune with all those sounds that were happening outside. But I did the next best thing.
