You may be right about the receiver (I didn't search extensively), but this shows how it's done in an Oppo DVD player: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=95972 My thinking is anything that decodes HDCD from a digital input or optical media, and in turn sends digital data to an internal DAC, can be re-directed to the digital out (or a new spdif interface). T'is of course a far cry from what I'd hoped originally, that it might be possible for HDCD without the mod since it isn't so proprietarily guarded like SACD, DVD-A. The legality of the mod is questionable if recording the output, but unless I'm mistaken you could, for example, play an HDCD/SACD on the Oppo, then send the data to the Transporter's DAC- and be within your rights of fair use. There did seem to be some clocking problems with 192kHz output, but I only scanned the thread so far. I suppose what you need is a mod that outputs the sampling rate which will work best with the external player (or ecorder-ray-) you plan to use. An oppo was on my wishlist anyway... -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
