The Oppo is pretty special, it's achieved legendary status because it does what nobody else does (upsample DVD video and output via HDMI).

Yes, I'm sure DVD players and receivers could be modded to output what's coming out of the DSP to S/PDIF. It's not what you'd want in a factory unit though - you normally wouldn't want audio with the adjustments, tweaks and alterations the DSP applies to be passed to another device. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 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
