Just FYI for all,
(this information was gleanable if one read the "Official OPPO BDP-95 Owner's Thread" at
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1311806&page=194 and earlier pages) (careful readers of the Oppo 95 owner's manual will find it on page 72.)
I sent following information to Dan of Modwright
concerning the capability to
set up the tube modded
Oppo 95 so that the tube mod and the quadruple-stacked "stereo DAC" are also used for FL/FR signals of the multichannel !!!**************************************************
Dan and Kristin,
I feel there is an opportunity to
enhance your webpage (and marketing at RMAF !!!)
for the Modwright tube mod to the Oppo 95
if you mention/highlight/make use of the following
setup option on the Oppo 95:
***************************************************
from Oppo BDP-95 English Manual v1.3:
4. Stereo Signal: To select the audio source that will be processed and sent out through the STEREO
AUDIO OUT and the XLR BALANCED STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals. The available options are:
• Down-mixed Stereo – The stereo or down-mixed stereo signals are processed and sent
out from the dedicated stereo output terminals.
•
Front Left/Right – The original Front Left (FL) and Front Right (FR) signals are sent out
from the dedicated stereo output terminals. The purpose is to fully utilize the better DAC
hardware originally assigned to the dedicated stereo outputs for customers who prefer multi-channel speakers and do not need the dedicated stereo output or zone 2 output.
When this option is selected, the dedicated stereo output ports should be used as the Front
outputs of the 7.1ch / 5.1ch / Stereo Audio group. The original FL/FR RCA connectors
should not be connected. 72
****************************************************************************
If this option is set in "Audio Processing,"
this means that the ModWright tube mod can/will be used
for the FL/FR signals of multi-channel material
(taking advantage of the quadruple-stacked "stereo DAC")
as well as for 2-channel material and
allows use of one less set of cables as well !
(This option was not available on the Oppo BDP-83SE and
was one reason why I ended up choosing the SS mods for that unit.)
