Although the oppo may not be special by video standards, it still may be special for other reasons. Apparently the data needs to come out of DSP a certain way, so the Oppo and, after a second look, a Pioneer player are the only thing the mod is documented for (that I saw). A search at DIYaudio will turn up boards+logic available to anyone interested in the pioneer mods. I didn't see anything about theater receivers though. > > Yes, I'm sure DVD players and receivers could be modded to output > what's coming out of the DSP to S/PDIF.

If you consider DSP to be bass/treble management then I suppose that is true. If you consider DSP to be the way these players decode HDCD, SACD, and DVD-A- then I would argue that it would be very desirable to have the digital out go through DSP. A better generalization would be; It's not what Sony would want in a factory unit. -- 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
