BDP-3

There was a short blurb as to why the BDP-2 and few other products were removed, that being that the products are discontinued which I don't think you can fault them for that.

I thought you sold your BDP-1?

Still here.

Not a good policy. Awards can't be withdrawn -- imagine Nobels being taken away because the recipients retired down the road.....

But, at the time Stereophile removed the BDP-2, many dealers still had them in stock.

Thanks DK,

Will the Oppo app allow for a tv -less operation? I’ve several BD audio that require me to turn on the tv to scroll through the menu/ chapters and then select tracks. Would be lovely if this were to be catered for through the app?
This playlist looks fine, but (how) is the full track list displayed upon disc load?

Cheers Marius

Hi Marius,

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. For some reason, I have stopped getting email notifications for this thread and I just now saw your questions upon revisiting the thread.

The Oppo app does allow for TV-less operation. My music files are organized by album folders, and the album folders are grouped according to genre and whether they are PCM or DSD. Clicking on an album folder shows all the song files along with a thumbnail of the cover art. When I first start the app, I see my master folders, and then click through sub-folders to get to the album I want....or I select a playlist from the playlist page.

If you dac will accept DoP via spdif, then yes, even the BDP-2 with the Bryston IAD and perhaps even the original Juli@ could. I've never tested it myself, but customers have reported that this configuration works.

The BDP-2's DSD over S/PDIF or AES/EBU works very well. The BDP-2 in my two channel system is connected to a dCS Debussy DAC via AES/EBU cable . I compared DSD files over USB, S/PDIF, and AES/EBU and preferred AES/EBU.

No Worries DK, thanks for your confirmation.

What happens when you insert a BD audio Disc? Is the menu visible on the Oppo, or preferably, on the app? Or do we still need the TV set to display and use the menu.
Thanks,
Marius

Hi DarqueKnight,

so is it possible to send DSD files over AES/EBU to an external Dac? I tought it was limited to USB...

CanadianMaestro · « **Reply #338 on:** 12 Oct 2017, 01:38 pm »

@Granthill, I think the limiting factor is the DAC. If it's a BDA-3, that will accept DSD only over its USB jack. The BDP-2 apparently can send DSD over its AES, but if your DAC is not able to do DSD over its AES circuitry.....feel free (anyone) to correct me.

cheers
