No DSP but enhanced not lossless to an Oppo 205

[George_Carlson]

Hello I am using an Oppo 205 and I can’t get to lossless. I get enhanced even though the DSP is off. Is this because of the 5 channel output? I also use the unbalanced stereo output .

How do I post a screenshot?

Hi,
Can you try again now, using the small upload icon when editing a post.

However, I believe this post should answer your question:

Signal path: Audio Distribution

Yeah, the audio distribution component is part of the Oppo. It’s the subsystem that splits the stream for all of the different outputs and possibly does some output specific processing. This topology was judged too complex/variable/situation-dependent to make explicit in signal path–however, their quality indicator (lossless or enhanced) should accurately reflect whether processing is happening in the path to the high quality analog outs on the back. This will vary based on how you have the de…

Thanks I’ll research

You mentioned 5 channel output, so I interpret the enhanced “Audio Distribution” item in your signal path as where the 2-channel source material is being converted to MCH. If you want bitperfect output, you’ll need to disable that — I’m guessing it’s a setting on the Oppo.

IMO, it’s all about what sounds better to you, so by all means compare the 2-channel output with the “synthesized” MCH output.

I agree - still working through the options. Thanks for the reply.
