Oppo UDP-203 over HDMI as endpoint: multichannel and DSD don't work

[BlackJack]

@Alan_Watkins

Is it a official that the Roon-ready Oppo 203 cannot play multichannel?

Yes, the Roon Ready (RAAT) network input [on the Oppo] is limited to 2 Channel (Stereo) PCM:

OPPO UDP-203 and UDP-205 now Roon Ready

The official message from Oppo we were instructed to give when this multichannel limitation comes up: Due to technical limitations within these products, the audio interface available to the RAAT firmware is unable to support DSD or multichannel playback. OPPO is investigating a path forward, but as of now, we don’t know if or when these limitations will be bypassed.

The UDP-203 supports streaming stereo PCM audio up to 192 kHz 24-bit from Roon.
