What are you using to convert HDMI to I2S? An external box? An internal mod in the Oppo? Do you have equipment to measure jitter? I ask because you seem to put the blame on jitter for the perceived differences.

Did you check the SMSL DO400 page? THD+N measurements are listed separately for XLR and RCA outputs. The person claiming the output was the same does not say what device the DAC was connected to. Some amps might set their input sensitivity according to the connection. Also we don't know the...

You can. As long as you can find a DIN to RCA cable.

Can you share what made you change your mind about the DO400?

As it is, the answer is no BUT with something like this, you can https://www.ebay.com/itm/174596966784 It takes the HDMI signal and extracts the audio from it. If it is DSD you can send it to the DO400 as I2S or as DoP (DSD64) thru SPDIF (coax or Toslink). I have the DO400 too. I use an older...

The first thing you have to check is the DSP settings on the amp. If you bought it 2nd hand you should have reset it to default and then put your own settings.

I just noticed I made a boo boo... it should have said "would NOT help"

Not tinnitus. Tinnitus occurs inside the head and does not have an external source. So called "warm" DACs, tubes or anything of the sort would help

It's the Havana Syndrome......

Check volume/level/gain settings on the HiFi Rose. It might be too low or variable volume enabled.

If you find the manual confusing (it is for the important stuff), check videos on Youtube. There are LOTS related to the 820/9000 and many of them explain the setup process and what the settings are for.

Ok, this is what is supposed to show when it is playing a regular blu ray WITH the upscaling option. The former screenshot was a proper status for a 4k UHD disc with Dolby Vision. Use the Playback Info button, it will give WAY more information and clarify things for you, But as I said earlier...

The screenshot you posted clearly shows 3 important things: Dolby Vision, Ultra HD Blu ray and 4k. So, what else do you expect the player to do to tell you it is playing 4k content? There is a button on the remote called Playback Info, it will tell you what it is getting from the disc and what...

You ARE getting 4k and Dolby Vision. What is reported on the status bar is what is being displayed. If it was not 4k it would show something else. Check your TV settings if what you see does not look like 4k even when it is. It also depends on the contents you are trying to watch.

Neverrmind mind what I said. I confused the OP's device with my switch!!!!... Mine has analog output too but only two channels. This was my first ASR-post without carefully reading post! And I hate those. Well, there's always that first time to be that guy.

Dude, your streamer (the Bluesound) will output PCM thru the toslink output into the Denon's toslink input. You DO NOT need a streamer plus DAC, and the Denon does NOT need to stream anything!! It's done by the Node!

People!!! Why are you all complicating this and confusing the OP? The solution is rather simple. Connect the Node with Toslink to the Denon. It WILL go to the highest sampling rate the Denon allows for optical. NO need for DAC in between the Node and Denon. It will use the Denon's DAC. You won't...

It's Italian

If you need DD+, you need another HDMI output. Optical wil not carry it. I could recommend the HDFury Integral2 as it supports all your listed requirement plus it has 2 HDMI outputs.
