Oppo UDP-205 Universal Disc Player

What are you doing with the HDMI Audio output?  Using it, interacts with the audio from the HDMI Video/Main out.  It is possible that such clock options/interactions might affect the signal that gets to the DACs.   Possible.

Analog out to the P7, of course.

Input via ethernet or HDMI from the server (depending on the server)

Input via ethernet using the Oppo's network option.

Input via USB directly from HD.

Thanks Kal, much appreciated!  ANy thoughts on how the two current oppos compare for the type of playback I am looking for (multi channel high res FLAC stuff)?  Is the 205 a worthwhile upgrade?

Sorry.  I have only used the 205.

When I asked Oppo they said HDMI Audio Jitter Reduction is only referring to the HDMI Audio Out port, to be used with an external AVR/Prepro. 

 

I.e. - Not when when using the 205 as the DAC, with audio input from HDMI (The only way it will support multichannel from Roon/Dirac Live). 

Of course, you can use both at the same time by feeding HDMI input from a server and having the 205 output that from its HDMI Audio output. 

 

What does this accomplish?  Well, many have found that their server/PC cannot output hi-rez/mch to their AVR but that same AVR will accept Hi-rez/mch from the Oppo.
