Anyway I can use Vanity203HD without Oppo203?

Post by joyousfish »

I have already sold Oppo203. Is there anyway I can use Vanity203HD without Oppo203? By the way, I use Genelec 8330.

Hi there,
Counter question. Assuming that you know roughly how the Vanity203HD works, what would you want to use it for without the OPPO player?

I would like to use the Vanity203HD to provide digital audio, and connect the Genelec 8330 via digital input.

Hi,
Ok, I see what you want to connect it to, but can I ask how you want to feed the module with audio signals? The whole idea of the Vanity203 module is a single-purpose retro-fit board dedicated for the UDP-203 player from OPPO. Trying to use it any other way, i.e. modifying it for a different universal player, would be very difficult if not impossible. Are you thinking about something like a multichannel adapter/module independent from a specific audio player?

Thanks,
Pavel

Yes, I'm thinking use it like a independent multi-channel adapter/module. Maybe it is impossible.

Hi Joyousfish,
I see. Well you certainly won't be able to use the VanityHD module for anything else, but I get your point. What would you want to feed such multi-channel module from? USB or HDMI or something else?

Hi Joyousfish,
I have a 203 and no vanity203HD board. I would be interested in owning one and maybe you are interested to sell the board and look for something different instead?
Best regards
