Oppo 105 help needed

Trying to play USB dac on an oppo 105D through hdmi (I get no sound). I haven't been able to find an answer, and have fiddled with all the settings. My guess is it will only play through the anolog section. Have this thing set up in the home theater, not interested in buying another couple grand in MIT cables to go from oppo to marantz. Thanks guys

    Hey mikey, I think your talking about having your oppo hooked to your AVR via HDMI?

    I found if I did this and played a SACD in my oppo set for DSD I got no sound thru my NAD T-758 AVR because it can not decode DSD.

    when I switched to Analog cables It work just fine as the OPPO did the decoding. thinking your problem is along this line, if I change the setting to PCM instead of DSD I could hear the SACD through my NAD AVR.

    but you mention USB DAC? is the files your playing thru the DAC recognizable by the oppo and maybe it is still could be a problem that your AVR cannot decode?

    Sorry guys. Will try to explain more clear. Mac book pro hooked up to the USB input on the oppo (dac input). And using hdmi to marantz 7702. I don't get any sound. I did test it in the 2 channel system, and would work via the anolog outs. But doesn't seem to work via hdmi to my marantz. Which sucks!

    The files worked just fine in my 2 channel system using my oppo as a preamp. So the problem is not the oppo not recognizing the format.

    ok, if you go into the OPPO setting and Audio processing I changed SACD from DSD to PCM and it worked, how about changing the hdmi setting from auto to LPCM or Bitstream and see if it works?

    My Laptop to Oppo's USB analog to AVR ran in 2 Channel is how I run mine? I believe that is the only way. Call Oppo they can set you straight.

    Changing it to PCM may be the ticket. If your going digital out on the OPPO to the Marantz, I don't think the Marantz is capable of decoding a DSD file unless it's converted.

    Why not use the analog outs of the OPPO though ? Is there a reason you want to use the HDMI, aside from having to buy another set of cables ? Your passing up the dacs in the 105, which in that case....you could have saved some coin with the 103.

  • Um, it's the dac input your using right? I don't think the oppo is going to convert it back to digital after feeding the dac. Makes sense it doesn't work that way.

    Yup using the dac input. I don't know why the heck I didn't think of using the anolog outs to the marantz. Makes no sense to convert it from digital to anolog to pass it digital over hdmi. I only have a set of xlr king cobras. I'm too lazy to pull the rack out.

    So I ended up using the second hdmi output on the oppo and using analog out. took me about an hour to figure out why the heck I still didn't get any sound. Turns out there is a input select in the marantz menu to switch from analog to hdmi. Set it to analog and I'm in business. What a pain in the a$$. Found a pair of RCA lying around a friend of mine built. They sound pretty dam good. Now to pull out the rack, wire everything in and set it up on the Logitech remote.
