Ralf11 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I have the Oppo-205 and am curious about the DAC in the unit. Is it known to be the same as their stand-alone Sonica unit? How do you prevent the unit from shutting down and going to sleep when only using the DAC? - the disc player itself often goes into a dysfunctional sleep mode and cannot be made to play a disc without unplugging the AC power cord Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 @tmtom recently posted about his 205, and I'm sure others have them as well Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thx. If a single power supply in the Oppo 205 drives the CD motor and the DAC, it makes sense that it would be bigger and so maybe is better than the Sonica (DAC only). Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Jorge - did you do two different tests? i.e. USB vs. ethernet on the Oppo; and Oppo vs. Chord How did you do them / with what setup? Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Interesting. I know the Oppo has low THD & low noise... I'm just trying to keep mine from going to sleep (I have to unplug it to get any control over it at all). I have Auto Power off = off and Sleep Timer = off but it still won't stay on...

Ralf11 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'll have to check on the lights. I've emailed oppo support several times - they are helpful in terms of friendliness, not technical ability... I'll check the HDMI CEC too The front panel power button doesn't do anything - tho that was with a press - maybe it needs a prolonged hold? Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 How did you test for better SQ? Link to comment

Unfortunately data is encrypted for everyone else but me. Plissken 😌 and like-minded will be delighted with my findings! 😂🥳😂 my question is about how you compared the two - what did you do?
