Hi Pavel,

Wow, thank you so much for looking into this issue for me! Let me know if there might be any scenarios or experiments I can run on my end that might help you diagnose the issue.
Graz!

For sure, thank you, Pavel.

While on the subject of settings, is it best to have the Coaxial Output in the Audio Format Setup set to Bitstream or to LPCM, or does it not matter? Does one have less processing than the other?

Thanks again.

I recently acquired an Oppo with the DoP Vanity model installed and also picked up a streamer (EverSolo DMP-A6) with a DAC onboard that accepts DoP via coax and plays DSD.

Sure enough when I play the Vanity in DoP mode, the A6 displays DSD 64 and sounds very nice for a spell until a blast of white ...

Thank you for the response, Pavel.

It wasn't exactly what you suspected, but your suggestions led me back to going through all the settings to see if adjusting anything addressed the issue and... eureka!

In case this happens to anyone else, here's what I found:

In Setup Menu

Hi Pavel & others,

I recently acquitted a DAC/streamer that displays the sampling rate of the incoming coaxial stream from the Vanity103HD output, and although SACDs read PCM 176, I cannot get Blu-rays or DVDs to register higher than 48kbs even though the video display shows the Oppo is reading ...

Hi Pavel and others.

I was wondering if installing a quality linear power supply to a 103 w/Vanity helps the SQ as much as it does with a standard 103, or if using a Vanity board would make those improvements somewhat negligible?

Same question for an improved master clock in the 103 itself. Would ...

Oh, so the audio data is reclocked by the Vanity board for I2S output, as well as for the spdif output. That was what I was inelegantly trying to ask. Thanks.

The implementation of I2S on the vanity203 board should be substantially better than if I installed one of these into the 103 I currently ...

Thank you, Pavel, that makes sense.

Does the I2S draw its clock data straight from the oppo master clock, or does the board clean up the clock signal somehow beforehand?

Considering the reclocking of the signal for spdif output of the vanity board, it would be interesting to see/hear what ...

Thanks, Pavel. I use the Vanity103 board and was curious what advantages are gained with the 203 plus vanity board. Regarding the I2S, I thought I had read the Oppo 203 can handle audio samples greater than 24/192 through maybe usb or hdmi inputs, and was wondering if those higher rates, possibly ...

Hi, Pavel. What are the resolution limits over I2S with the Oppo203/Vanity combo for PCM and DSD?

Thanks!
