I was wondering whether if you take toslink out of an oppo BDP 93 and put it though an outboard DAC, does it then just become a transport with the DAC doing all the decoding and signal processing?
 
OK, i learned something but only partially answered my question (?)
I sent an email to OPPO support and received a reply in like 2 hours which in my book is stellar in itself!:thumbsup:
Anyway they said output from coax or toslink the player does standard decoding to PCM. Does that mean yes to my first question. I'm going to try tomorrow when cable comes. I am trying to better understand what i'm doing and how sound id effected.
 
It will work fine for playing CDs (and DVDs, I believe). It will not work for SACD - that is available only through the analog and hdmi outputs. It might or might not sound better with the DAC. But yes, in that case the Oppo becomes just a transport.
