HDMI to SPDIF? Can you recommend an audio extractor?

[seeteeyou]

Since dCS Rossini DAC does support DoP via both coaxial inputs, AFAIK this is the only external audio extractor that could support SACD without resorting to PCM conversion

And then there's an expensive mod for Oppo BDP-93 but that's superseded by Vanity203HD already, only compatible with UDP-203

Actually... Can someone help me figure how to buy this thing? The page is in Chinese I think and google translate ain't helping.

 

They should have an official site but their HDMI 2 DSD wasn't listed yet, maybe their contact form is worth a try?

I also their e-mail addresses and hopefully they're still valid

If that were no go, you might have to pay more for an agent since they'll charge some fees

Are these agents reputable? I don't mind a fee.

 

I don't need such services myself since I'm living in Hong Kong.

 

Maybe take a look at this page below and decide for yourself

As long as you're sending your payment via PayPal, it should be fairly safe even if something were going wrong.

So glad that's working great for you.

 

BTW, I read quite a bit about this affordable Belkin HDMI (specifically supporting BOTH 4K and 8K) cable and that seemed to work great for concerts / movies

The model of the latest 2018 version is AV10176 and we could find that on Amazon etc.
