Sorry I missed your thread before.

There is no problem in principle with you doing a 1.6 with a PLLXO. There are the tools DM used and he, Davey, Neolith (from MUG) and others can help you tune your values to your equipment. If you foresee much swapping of amps then you can put in linear pots instead of resistors to adjust for amp input impedances.

Where there may be a problem is with the Oppo's output voltage and the PLLXO's insertion loss. I have not found the spec, but the new voltage rails for the audio are 3.3 and 5 volts, so that the max output would be significantly lower than that at 2V or a little above. That restricts how much of an insertion loss your setup can withstand. You may end up needing a preamp or a fixed gain stage.

It's easy enough to measure the output voltage/resistance of the Oppo unit.  Play a CD with sine-wave test signal with no load and then with a 1k ohm load and perform a little arithmetic on the results.

I've owned a number of Oppo players and they were all 2.2 volts 0dbFS nominal and approximately 100 ohms output on the RCA connectors.  I would be surprised if the BDP-103 is different from this.

Whether or not a PLLXO is in the future, this is still handy information to know.

Cheers,

Dave.
