    Monoprice Blackbird Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    @Eric Geer thank you for elucidation. Assuming your patent concerns HDCP-compliant DoP, did you offer it up for sale to SACD player manufacturers? DoP over optical or coaxial SPDIF straight from the player would be an attractive sales point in this market.

    Converting a Blu-ray/SACD player into a digital DSD transport

    You mentioned that you're using the IIS connection. Are you sure you have the extractor that mentions "DOP" in the product title? There are at least two lookalikes of this box, one of which does only IIS for DSD and the other, more expensive one that i referenced also does DoP over SPDIF...

    Converting a Blu-ray/SACD player into a digital DSD transport

    a) No, x800M2 downsamples over coaxial to 48kHz or 44.1kHz. (Need to use HDMI2 audio only). b), c) This extractor seems to extract DSD over PCM (DoP), which i guess your Topping D90 can process: https://www.ebay.com/itm/353354399159

    Monoprice Blackbird Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    @pvehling and @sunao , FWIW: For extracting DSD from SACD and sending that via SPDIF (optical or coaxial) to a DOP capable DAC, the ChiFi extractor box referenced below is reported to work alright. This HDMI extractor wraps up the DSD signal in DOP format (= DSD Over PCM), which is unwrapped to...

    Monoprice Blackbird Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    Thanks for the info, phveling. Anyway, SACDs and HFPA discs have a hi-res stereo layer which will automatically be played with the Sony X800 settings I listed above and with the extractor EDID switch in 5CH (or 5.1 or Bitstream) position. DSD (2.8 MHz) from SACD is converted by the Sony to 176.4...

    Monoprice Blackbird Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    >>> My question is do you use the 5ch output or 2ch output to get 192/24 output? <<< Set the switch on the HDMI audio extractor to 5CH and you'll get 192kHz, 24bit stereo from HiFi Pure Audio blu-ray discs. Tested with: HFPA disc: Supertramp, Crime of the Century Extractors: J-Tech Digital...

    Monoprice Blackbird Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    That's the widely spread "rebranded HDV-MB01 with a GSCoolink GSV2002", see comment #119 in this thread. Anyone knows if the Monoprice 7.1 extractor reviewed by Amir in the top post of this thread utilizes the same GSV2002 extractor chip?

    HDMI audio extractor with TOSLINK and 24/192 support

    Thanks John. I hooked up my extractor on a master-slave power strip which is controlled by my stereo amplifier. If i'm right, the Amazon Basics extractor defaults to 2CH mode after power off and back on; correct me if i'm wrong. Does it also output 192kHz, 24bit in 2CH mode?

    Monoprice Blackbird Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    Sony removed Amazon Prime from later versions/firmwares of the X800. Now there's only Netflix and YouTube, which i don't use either (they're already on my LG TV). But the X800 performs very well as a renderer on streaming hi-res music, from Qobuz in my case. Controller is BubbleUPnP app on an...

    HDMI audio extractor with TOSLINK and 24/192 support

    Only if the HDMI out of the extractor is connected to a TV and the extractor's EDID switch is set to TV, the TV's EDID are passed through the extractor to the Fire TV Stick, which adapts its audio and video output accordingly. If you don't use the extractor HDMI out or if you set the EDID switch...

    HDMI audio extractor with TOSLINK and 24/192 support

    TV audio signals are standard 48 kHz. Could it be that the optical input you're using on the PM7000N, is set as TV audio source? I took a quick look at the user manual of the PM7000N and read something about that. If such is the case, the PM7000N might downsample the signal from the extractor...

    HDMI audio extractor with TOSLINK and 24/192 support

    I bought the J-Tech Digital JTD18G-H5CH as a spare and tested it. Mine goes up to 192 kHz and 24 bit, and supports all lower sample rates and bit depths as well (192, 176.4, 96, 88.2, 48, 44.1 kHz and 24, 16 bit); same as the now discontinued Cable Matters 4K. You should set the EDID switch to...

    "UAPP includes a DLNA renderer that you can play to with BubbleUPnP." Tip received from BubbleUPnP Support. Indeed, UAPP can be controlled by BubbleUPnP and streams hi-res. No OTG cable required, although I didn't thoroughly test if OTG supports more functions such as volume control. RME and...

    Hallo Fledermaus, does the Galaxy pass hi-res audio (e.g. Qobuz 192 kHz 24 bit) to your RME DAC?
