Article: At Long Last! Listen To Your (Physical) SACDs Through an Outboard DAC

[Mogulman]

I bought the HDMI box on E Bay.  I attached it to my Oppo 105 using the HDMI 2 output. I didn’t use an external P/S.  I also used the HDMI output on the box to display video on the TV.  I set the Audio out to DSD on the 105. I used the I2S output with a HDMI 2.1 cable to a Topping D90.  I had to E mail the E Bay seller to get the I2S pinout.  On the D90 you have to reverse the Data.  Playing SACD's the D90 shows 2.8224 and DSD on the display.  The sound is much improved to the stock Oppo105.
