  1. there is a thread in the DAC section about splitting HDMI 24/192 audio from video. Perhaps it would be of some assistance.
  2. link for second source http://smartvm.com/HDMI-Switcher-2x1-v13b-with-Separate-SPDIF-COAX-Toslink-Audio-Output-Channel-P39534.htm specs are slightly different, but devices look identical regarding the issue of 24/192....that is the LPCM signal passed to the coax. One-and-One-Half: I do not know anything HDCP, I am simply reporting what I have discovered about my desire to move 23/192 bluray data to my DAC. This is all new to me. I may buy this thing only to find out it doesn't work...who knows.
  3. I have the Opus21 and have been looking for a GOOD way to convert the apple optical out to Opus coax-in. I would appreciate any input.
  4. The device manufacturer quickly responded to my question about the word length/sample. They confirmed that it passes 24 bit 192khz LPCM sample rate data. They also are on back-order until the end of the month. I found a second website which seems to offer the identical item with a different name. It is in stock and a bit cheaper.
  5. I was under the impression that when DSD is converted to PCM, it is down-sampled. Another wonderful data protection scheme from the boys at Sony. Perhaps this is no longer true, which would be great. There was a thread over at audiocircle.com/starting block regarding sacd a while back. It included some helpful information about sacd (and it totally unraveled and turned into a pissing match at the end). But, I found it useful. When I receive a response to the email I sent to the manufacturer, I will post the results.
  6. I will put an email into the company and ask for verification. As to the SACD, my PS3 doesn not support SACD. I do have a universal player that has SACD capabilities, but without any ability to output SACD data (Pioneer Elite 47a). From what I remember in the past, Sony is very protective of the data stream with SACD and it is difficult to extract it in 24/192. I am sure things have changed since I last looked into it, but I would be surprised if it was possible.
  7. here is one product. With credit to a poster in audiogon. Several have been written about in the various forums. The Altona products seem to get good reviews. http://www.allaboutadapters.com/hdautooptoco.html The only reason I like this one is that it has a coax output. My Opus 21 only has coax inputs. I have not received the unit yet, but based on what I have read, it outputs 24/192.
  8. found the answers. bluray only outputs 24/96 digitally. The simplest answer is to buy a HDMI conversion box which separates the video and audio signal (24/192 LPCM) from a HDMI input and outputs toslink/coax and component video or dvi or rgb. In any case, I can now listen to the Neil Young blu-ray disk through my outboard 24/192 DAC. Thanks to all the people in all the forums I have visited for assistance.
  9. hello; First post! I have a PS3 I use for BluRay and just picked up the new Neil Young Archive set on BluRay. The issue I am having is that my DAC has only a coax in while the PS3 has only optical out. I bought a cheap ($15) converter just to make it work, but would like a better, more permanent solution to this issue. Some have mentioned the M-Audio converter ($60) while others have recommended the Monarchy DIP. I guess the main question is: what can I use that will minimize jitter and maintain the signal as best as possible. Final question: Although this set of disks is labeled as being 24/192, I read somewhere that blu-ray will only output 24/96 via the optical port. Anyone know if that is correct? Thanks! Paul
